Dundee Hotels

Mini guide to Dundee

Scotland's fourth largest city, also known as the 'City of Discovery', can be reached through the rolling hills of Fife and is dramatically set in the twin hills of Balgay and Law, with the seaside town of Broughty Ferry hugging the coastline on the other side. The approach to Dundee from the two impressive bridges which span the "Silvery Tay" is simply breathtaking.

From its history in the whaling and flax industry, Dundee has moved on to become a resort city, famous for Dundee fruitcake and Dundee marmalades and jams. Dundee is a city of contrasts, where the old and new co-exist in harmony. The city centre is a shopper's paradise, with the usual high street stores, but also with quaint specialty shops in small side streets.

Dundee maintains its youthful feel thanks to the 10% of its population who study at one of the universities or colleges in the city. This in turn makes for a lively nighttime atmosphere, with plenty of pubs and clubs. Other evening entertainment is provided by The Rep, the Contemporary Arts Centre, and other smaller theatres in town, which host a range of events, with arts and musical festivals attracting large crowds throughout the year.

Sport remains an activity close to the heart of many Dundonians, with two top class football clubs located in the city. There are excellent facilities for those who want to enjoy golf, fishing, sailing and horse riding. Dundee is also a good base for those who want to play at one of Scotland's most famous golf courses, Carnoustie.

Dundee Airport, servicing flights within Scotland and to London, is easily accessible. Rail and coach access is also abundant, with linkages with most major cities in Scotland.
