Aberdeen has an exciting and lively nightlife, with so many live music venues for you to consider whatever your favourite genre is.
Reasons to Visit
Victorian Architecture – A prominent feature in Aberdeen’s central buildings, the use of granite gave the city the nickname “The Silver City”. Throughout the city you will notice these impressive buildings as soon as you set foot in the city centre.
The Annual Aberdeen Festivals – From the May Festival to the Jazz Festival, these are just a couple of examples of live events that go on across the city throughout the year, so if you’re fortunate enough to be visiting whilst they’re on, it’s definitely worth checking out. Outside of the festivals, there is also a huge live music scene in the city’s pubs, clubs and live venues.
Free Things to Do in Aberdeen
Fancy taking a break from your busy group activities but don’t want to splash the cash? Luckily, there’s loads of free things to do in Aberdeen to pass the time and really get a feel for the city.
Aberdeen’s Award-Winning Beach – A hit with tourists throughout the year. Even better, it’s just a 20 minute walk from the city centre. If you don’t fancy the hike though, calling a taxi will only take you 5 minutes to get there!
Aberdeen Art Gallery & The Maritime Museum –These are both free to enter if you want to explore the art and history of the city. The art gallery holds impressive works spanning back to the 1400s, and the maritime museum takes visitors through the journey of the city from a tiny fishing village to the massive economic boom from the discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s.
Getting Around Aberdeen
If you don’t fancy walking and need to get around Aberdeen quickly, there are a number of taxi ranks dotted around the city. In the centre, there are multiple taxi ranks on Chapel Street and Back Wynd, just off Union Street.
There is also one right outside the train station, so if you’re looking to pre-book your taxi once your event dates are sorted, you can hope right into your cab as soon as you arrive if you’re travelling by train.
