Aberdeen is the so-called Granite City and is one of the largest in Scotland. It is famous also with its two universities: University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University. The city has many museums and historical places.
One of the places you definitely need to see is Aberdeen Maritime Museum. It is near the harbor and represents most of the Aberdeen history – from the shipbuilding to the oil industry. You can see there ship plans and photographs together with many other interesting things.
Next stop is Satrosphere Science Center which was opened in 1988. Its purpose was to inspire teenagers to become scientists and it offers 50 exhibits and science demonstrations. It is the first center of this kind opened in Scotland.
And last but not least, you must visit the Duthie Park Winter Gardens. They were opened in 1899, but a storm in 1969 destroyed everything and the greenhouse had to be rebuilt. Now this park is one of the biggest indoor gardens in Europe.
When you visit these interesting places, I am sure that you will want to see even more of this beautiful city. The best accommodation offered is Hilton Aberdeen. You can enjoy special spa treatment and scenic coastal views.
