What should you do in Inverness?
Experience the charm of a typical Scottish Highland small town on a trip to Inverness . While Inverness is mostly known among holidaymakers as a starting point for trips to Loch Ness, the city itself also has a lot to offer. One highlight is definitely Fort George, which is probably the best-preserved 18th century fortress in Europe. Among the prettiest buildings in Inverness are the cathedral and the castle, which is clearly visible on a hill in the middle of the city. Immerse yourself in the culture and history of the Highlands at the Inverness Museum & Art Gallery , while the Victorian Market promises a shopping experience with Victorian flair.
