City Snapshot: Dundee in Summer

Summer in the City of Dundee is something really quite special. Cosmopolitan and pleasingly compact, when it comes to city breaks Dundee is wonderful place to visit at this time of year.

A UNESCO City of Design, discover a thriving creative community on the banks of the River Tay. Get your cultural fix at attractions like the Dundee Contemporary Arts, spend a day browsing in hip boutiques and independent stores before rounding off with a bite to eat. Whether it’s a slice of cake from Jessie’s Kitchen or an elegant lunch at Taypark House Café, the quality of Dundee’s local cuisine is positively divine.

Of course, there are plenty of things to do in Dundee other than eat, shop and local art. Delve into the city’s Dundee’s rich industrial past. Pay a visit to the thoroughly interesting Verdant Works where generations of Dundonians worked in the jute industry, and get your pic taken with the statute of Desperate Dan, the classic comic strip creation of DC Thomson, in the city centre. You can even spend an evening stargazing at Mills Observatory.

Explore the city’s abundance of green spaces, from Dundee Botanic Garden to Riverside Nature Park, the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or cycle. And don’t forget to venture a little further afield to seaside suburb of Broughty Ferry with its award-winning beach.

Splendidly situated, and brimming with plenty to see and do, one thing’s for certain – you’ll be glad you made the time for Dundee.
