EXPLORE SCOTLAND: DUNDEE WHAT TO SEE & DO GUIDE

The thriving city of Dundee is one of Scotland's finest destinations, where you'll find fascinating history and vibrant culture - indeed the city is currently bidding to become the UK City of Culture in 2017.

Step aboard the RRS Discovery, the ship which took Captain Scott on his pioneering voyage to Antarctica. Uncover the fascinating industrial roots of Dundee at the Scottish Jute Museum@Verdant Works or enjoy a day out with the family at Dundee Science Centre or the Mills Observatory, the UK's only full-time public observatory.

Dundee also has much to offer culture vultures: see works of modern masters such as Matisse, Warhol and Dali at The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum, enjoy a performance at Dundee Rep or immerse yourself in contemporary culture at Dundee Contemporary Arts. Dundee is a compact city with many of its attractions within easy walking distance of each other.

Dundee's many green spaces are ideal for enjoying autumn colours and are only a short bus or taxi ride from the city centre as is the coastal delight of Broughty Ferry, with its award-winning beach, cafe culture, bars and restaurants and local arts and crafts retailers.
