Holiday In Aberdeen

You know what they say: “Ain’t no party like a Highland games party, ’cause a Highland games party… sounds pretty dangerous.”

Just kidding, those guys know what they’re doing. If watching a caber toss is your cup of, er, sport, then take thyself to Aberdeen. Heck, if you prefer sipping on a good malt whisky to witnessing acts of brute strength, this Scottish destination is still a good place to spend your annual leave. Aberdeen holidays manage to fuse rustic countryside with cosmopolitan amenities. Yes, built on oil money and riddled with everything from medieval castles to beachfront, the Granite City aims to please.

Things to Do in Aberdeen

If you were hoping to retire with the sun on your Aberdeen holiday, you should keep two things in mind. First of all, you’ll be on holiday, so live a little. Second of all, days in Grey City sometimes run long. In June, the sun won’t disappear until after 10 pm, and then it’s ready to party again as early as 4 am. On the bright side (we love puns, and we shall not apologise), more daylight means more time to explore the likes of Castle Trail, Cairngorms National Park and Aberdeen Beach. We also recommend that you tip back a few at the whisky distilleries in the area. Meanwhile, just beyond the buzzing city centre, beautiful coastline and untouched rolling hills await. Take advantage of the sunlight and grab one of lastminute.com.au’s great Aberdeen car hire deals if you need a dose of fresh air after a late night (it does a body good). Any respectable holiday to Aberdeen also includes the sound of bagpipes, which can be found at the Highland games—and are also available for private hire (just saying).

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Shopping in Aberdeen is…a massive deal, there’s just no other way to say it. Check your credit card balance and treat yourself to an afternoon along Union Street—aka the “Granite Mile”—or a trip to the West End.

If someone tells you Edinburgh holiday packages are the only road to fine dining, they are just trying to keep the thriving Aberdeen culinary scene to themselves. That’s greedy, so it’s time to crash the party. Take advantage of Aberdeen’s seaside location and bite into a fresh catch. Trendy restaurants will woo you with their pea and sorrel risotto, pan-fried scallops and whisky-cured salmon. Go ahead, give in.

The nightlife in Aberdeen is perfect for a hen night, birthday party or as the cure to an old-fashioned craving for shenanigans. Vodka bars and ’90s tribute clubs welcome you with open arms. Then there are the neon karaoke venues: Go ahead, belt out your best rendition of “Love is a Battlefield”. You can do it. Don’t believe us? Just ask the vodka…
