City Snapshot: Aberdeen in Summer

Aberdeen's combo of glamour and grit is guaranteed to mesmerise anyone, especially in the summer when the sun shines upon Scotland’s ‘Granite City’. Whether you’re looking for an extreme thrill or just time to chill, Aberdeen is suited to all types of city breaks.

There’s loads of Aberdeen attractions to choose from, many along the city’s coastline. Head out to sea with a dolphin cruise, and watch out for the majestic mammals rising above the water. Capture amazing snaps of Dunnottar Castle, a ruined fortress on the cliff’s edge near Stonehaven. Wander around the charming old fishing village, Footdee, and eat freshly-caught seafood at the Silver Darling Restaurant.

Of course, if you’ve lost your sea legs there are heaps of other things to do in Aberdeen. Admire the famous architecture at Kings College in Old Aberdeen, stop for some retail therapy on Union Street, and rest your legs in one of the city’s green spaces - Union Terrace Gardens or Duthie Park are ideal for peace and quiet.

The fun doesn’t have to stop there. Embrace Aberdeen’s nightlife with several fabulous options, including dinner and live music at Musa or cocktails at Orchid. Finish your Aberdeen break with a night to remember!
