What should you do in Aberdeen?
You can experience many different facets of Scotland on a trip to Aberdeen . A stroll through the old town with its medieval cathedral and the old town hall will take you back to centuries gone by, while in the Aberdeen Art Gallery you can see highlights of Scottish and international art history. The promenade along Aberdeen Beach or the blossoming splendor of Duthie Park Winter Gardens are perfect for a relaxing stroll. A little further afield, it's worth taking a trip to Slains Castle, which inspired the novel "Dracula" with its location on the rugged cliffs.
