Aberdeen is a lively, scenic city enriched with 8,000 years of history. While its traditional, granite-based architecture earns Aberdeen the title of Silver City, the city holds a plethora of parks and walkways, and has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Britain in Bloom 'Best City' award ten times
Modern Aberdeen is friendly and fun, although foreigners may struggle to understand the thick local accent. Belmont Street and surrounds are packed with restaurants, clubs, bars and live music venues; there are plenty of top-class museums and galleries including the Maritime Museum and the Aberdeen Art Gallery; and the city boasts a host of lush parks, including Duthie Park which opened in 1883. The vibrant waterfront district also merits exploration, as well as some of the lovely sandy beaches close by
The centre of Aberdeen is compact and easily explored on foot; most sites are within walking distance of each other. The local bus service (there are two different operators) is reliable, but expensive and time-consuming. Taxis are readily available and are best booked in advance, especially at night as they can be hard to come by after dark. Rail service is limited
Aberdeen also acts as a perfect hub from which to explore the beauty and majesty of the Grampian Highlands, enjoy a tipple on the Malt Whisky trail or ramble around ancient Scottish castles
