Whether you’re into art, architecture, science, shopping or simply scenic walks, Dundee has something for everyone. It’s home to the V&A Dundee – Scotland’s first design museum – as well as historic landmarks like Broughty Castle and beautiful green spaces like Magdalen Green. With a laid-back vibe and plenty to explore, Dundee makes for a great city break or a base to discover more of Scotland’s east coast.  

Dundee is famous for several things, both historic and modern. Traditionally, it was known for its “three Js” – jute, jam, and journalism – referring to its industrial roots. Today, the city is known for its cutting-edge design and innovation, especially since it became the UK’s first UNESCO City of Design. It’s also home to the V&A Dundee, the only V&A museum outside of London. Dundee is famous in the gaming world too, as the birthplace of Lemmings and the Grand Theft Auto series.  

Dundee has grown in popularity thanks to its impressive cultural revival and riverside setting. Its popularity is fuelled by attractions like the V&A Dundee, top universities, family-friendly museums like the Dundee Science Centre and a thriving food and arts scene. It’s also an appealing base for exploring nearby gems like Broughty Ferry, the Angus Glens and St Andrews.  

Dundee is a major cultural hub in Scotland with fantastic galleries like the V&A Dundee, Verdant Works and the Cooper Gallery, close to Dundee city centre and our Dundee Centre hotel. Dundee also has great interactive museums like the Dundee Science Centre, ideal for families with lots of hands-on scientific exhibits to keep the whole family occupied. 

Broughty Castle was built at the end of the 15th century and has survived historic battles, particularly wars fought throughout the 16th century. Today Broughty Castle is a fascinating museum with a great range of exhibits, set on the mouth of the scenic River Tay. Other Dundee attractions to check out include Cox’s Stack, a gigantic 292-foot chimney and the 13th century Dudhope Castle by City Square. 

For relaxing, open green spaces look no further than Craigtoun Country Park, with pristine lakes, gorgeous walking trails and much more to explore. Dundee’s oldest city park, Magdalen Green, is also worth the trip with beautiful riverside views.
