Culture & History
Aberdeen's buildings (many of them made from the local granite that gives the city its nickname) are one of its main attractions, with the popular Granite Trail dedicated to discovering the city's many architectural sights.
Scotland's 'Granite City' has a great range of attractions for visitors to enjoy
Sitting between the mouths of the rivers Dee and Don with a long sandy beach in between, Aberdeen has a beautiful outlook and the city itself offers a great mix of museums, galleries, architecture, green spaces and an eclectic assortment of eateries.
Affectionately named the 'Granite City' or the 'silver city with the golden sands' after its locally-quarried building materials, Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populous city. It offers a warm welcome and a good number of indoor and outdoor attractions for visitors to enjoy at any time of year.
Our guests often visit Aberdeen as part of a longer road-trip around the North-East coast of Scotland, although some linger longer, selecting it as a destination for their city break.
