48 Hours in Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a city that looks and feels quite different. Its mile-long Union Street is lined with classic granite buildings that help make this “one of the most architecturally distinctive cities in Europe” (The Scotsman).

Aberdeen isn’t just a city by the sea; it’s a city of the sea, where ships dock right up against the city-centre streets. Urban dolphins leap at the harbour mouth, and locals paddle-board and surf off the city beach.

Aberdeen has two Old Towns: Old Aberdeen, with its cobbled streets, mature trees, and 15th-century fortified cathedral, and Footdee, a quirky fishing quarter at the water’s edge, featuring squares of tiny cottages, flower-filled gardens, and brightly painted outhouses, their eccentric decorations drawing on the city’s seafaring soul.
