OTHER ACTIVITIES

Aberdeen City Centre has a lot to offer. Why not visit one of the pubs located around the centre? Such as Ma Cameron’s, the oldest pub in Aberdeen dating back to 1746 located on Little Belmont Street. Or why not take a trip round the corner to Belmont Street and visit some of the pubs and clubs on it such as Slain’s Castle.

If that doesn’t take your fancy, there are 3 main shopping centres; The Bon Accord Centre which is located at Schoolhill, The Trinity Centre located on Union Street and Union Square which is located on Guild Street next to the train station. Each of these shopping centres offer a different retail experience and have restaurants inside too.

If you would like a cultural experience, Shiprow is home to the Maritime Museum which tells the story of Aberdeen and its relationship with the sea and opened in 1984. The museum is located within Aberdeen’s second oldest townhouse, Provost Ross House which was built in 1593.

Also located in Aberdeen is the street art festival called ‘Nuart’ and this sees some of the empty wall space be transformed into a piece of art. Some examples are the Lego wall, located at the green along with a picture of a man holding a dog. Just across the road the picture can be seen of someone looking out of a window that was created for Nuart.

There are also many other intresting places to visit outside of the city centre, such as Old Aberdeen, Footdee (known locally as Fittie), Aberdeen beach or why not take a trip down to the River Dee and see Wellington Suspension Bridge?
