Aberdeen City Holidays

Located in north-eastern Scotland, within the Scottish Highlands, Aberdeen is renowned for its unique architecture, rich history, and scenic coastline. Take a stroll through the centre of Scotland’s third largest city, where you’ll be greeted by the majestic granite buildings that give Aberdeen its distinctive silver-grey appearance, and its nickname of the Granite City.

If you’re a history buff, you’ll love exploring the city’s interesting medieval past at Aberdeen Maritime Museum, which offers insights into its seafaring heritage. For an insight into Aberdeen’s artistic side, pay a visit to the Aberdeen Art Gallery, home to an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts.

To immerse yourself in nature, head to the beautiful Duthie Park and see its tranquil Winter Gardens, while the city’s stunning coastline offers picturesque walks along sandy beaches and rugged cliffs. If you hop on a boat at the harbour, you might see a local pod of bottlenose dolphins which are sighted all year round. 

Don’t miss the opportunity to sample Aberdeen’s culinary delights, from fresh seafood and some of the best fish and chips in Scotland, to Aberdeen Angus beef and Scottish whiskies. And for those needing a bit of retail therapy, Union Street is lined with an array of shops, boutiques, and cafés. Whether you want to explore the city’s historic landmarks, enjoy its natural beauty, or indulge in its food scene, the Silver City by the sea has something for everyone.
