Aberdeen</h2> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Aberdeen or the ‘Granite City’ is best known for its links with the oil industry, but this city has plenty on offer with the perfect mix of the cosmopolitan, beautiful coastlines, scenery, and culture. The promenade along the beach gives great strolling, jogging, and cycling opportunities, while the beach itself is always popular with children who can play on its golden sands. With historical buildings such as St. Machar’s Cathedral and an array of authentic Scottish whisky distilleries, as well as exciting activities including scuba diving and dolphin watching, you'll have a packed schedule from the start of your trip until the very end when you visit this unique Scottish city.</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Scotland's third-largest city, Aberdeen is located on the northeast coast of Scotland. The city itself is famous for its historical production of granite, something that is still evident today in the distinct grey buildings which sparkle silver and make Aberdeen such a distinctive place to visit - get your camera ready for when you arrive! When you travel by coach with Citylink, you'll arrive directly into the city centre at Aberdeen Bus Station which is in a handy location right next to Union Square shopping centre and just a stone's throw from the Aberdeen Maritime Museum.</p> </div> </section>  <section class="centered-content overflow-carousel-container show-1 alt ReduceHeight"> <ul class="layout two-col-text-img"> <li class="intro"> <h2>Getting you there</h2> <p>Ready to experience all that Aberdeen has to offer?

The city centre also boasts three shopping malls - the Bon Accord, Union Square, and Trinity Centre – all packed with well-known high street names.</p> <p>Aberdeen’s Union Street, or what the locals refer to as the Granite Mile, is known for its shopping with a variety of stores as well as a host of bars and restaurants. Specialising in craft beers, this is where you'll find BrewDog Castlegate; a casual but lively well-known pub restaurant. If you’re a seafood lover, the Aberdeen Harbour area is the place to be. Scallops, prawns, herring, mussels, and more – the types of seafood caught along the 170 km coastline of Aberdeenshire seem endless and will entice you back time and time again.</p> <p>If the thought of sampling some Scottish whisky tickles your fancy, there’s certainly plenty to cheers to while on a whisky tour of Aberdeen. Visit the most easterly distillery in Scotland at Glen Garioch which maintains its original features like its barley mill, or take a trip to Royal Lochnagar in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park - a distillery which was favoured by Queen Victoria so much it was bestowed a Royal Warrant!</p> </li> <li class="layout cards tall-cards carousel"> <div class="card no-tint two-col-c762ab66-470a-4033-b6a8-43df9d3cdf29" style='background-image: url( /media/uaxpdaez/aberdeen-beach.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=600&height=500&rnd=133020190706330000)' ></div> <div class="card no-tint two-col-c762ab66-470a-4033-b6a8-43df9d3cdf29" style='background-image: url( /media/2mjjply4/aberdeen_steps_2019_03-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=600&height=500&rnd=133130731685270000)' ></div> <div class="card no-tint two-col-c762ab66-470a-4033-b6a8-43df9d3cdf29" style='background-image: url( /media/emdjes12/kingscollege_old_aberdeen_2019_11-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=600&height=500&rnd=133130731986670000)' ></div> <div class="card no-tint two-col-c762ab66-470a-4033-b6a8-43df9d3cdf29" style='background-image: url( /media/pv5ftr5g/food-kenny-lam.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=600&height=500&rnd=133130698815670000)' ></div> </li> </ul> </section><section class="offset-btn-cta layout"> <div class="inner"> <h2>Let's get going</h2> <p><span>From Edinburgh and Glasgow, Citylink can get you here in around 3 hours.
