Gay Aberdeen

Aberdeen is Scotland's third largest city, known for its striking granite architecture and importance to the North Sea Oil industry. Because it is more secluded than other cities in the UK, it can feel more authentic than the standard UK tourist destinations. Because of its northern location, the best time of year to visit Aberdeen is during the summer months when the days are warm and sunny! The easiest way to get here is by train or flight. Once you are in town, it is best to see the sights on foot, especially to fully appreciate Aberdeen's impressive architecture.

Some local favorites within Aberdeen are the various museums and art galleries around town. There is also a beach area and fishing village called Footdee, where visitors can get a sense of Aberdeen's rich maritime past. Old Aberdeen is another quaint part of the city that is not to be missed, complete with beautiful churches, libraries, and museums of its own.

Like many cities in the UK, Aberdeen has a vibrant history of the arts, and there are great theater and music venues to check out while you're in town. There are also music and science festivals that take place year round. For excellent shopping in Aberdeen, look no further than its adorable public outdoor markets.
