minibus hire Dundee

Dundee has lots to see and do, from waterside enjoyment to shopping.

The V&A Dundee offers a taste of history and culture, while the Dundee Science Centre will blow your youngsters' heads. For something a bit different, come on one of the monthly Silent Disco Adventures and dance your way throughout the city!

Visit Discovery Point to board the legendary RSS Discovery research ship and hear about Captain Scott's trip to Antarctica in 1901 and 1904. The boat was the final wooden vessel constructed in the United Kingdom. The RSS Discovery has been significantly renovated, yet it retains its original characteristics, and spectacular audio-visual effects bring its historic trip to life.

Discovery Point and the RSS Discovery may be seen on the Dundee Waterfront, near the port. While you're there, pay a visit to the HMS Unicorn, Britain's oldest seaworthy warship. Both marine sites provide a detailed look into Dundee's shipbuilding history.

Broughty Ferry Beach is an award-winning length of golden sand surrounded by dunes, located only a short distance from the 15th-century Broughty Castle. During the summer, it's a great spot to unwind with the family, paddle in calm waters, and explore nearby attractions like Windmill Gardens. During the winter, wildlife enthusiasts go to the shore searching for migratory waders, seals, and porpoises.

A crazy golf course, go-karts, and a kid's play area are among the activities available at Broughty Ferry Beach. The beach might become busy during the summer, so get there early for an excellent stunning location. Stay until early sunset to see dolphins fishing in the Tay Estuary.

The V&A Dundee is one of the city's most famous museums. When it opened in 2018, it became the first museum devoted to Scottish design accomplishments. Its façade is reminiscent of the rocks of East Scotland. The Scottish Design Gallery and the lovely Oak Room, a tearoom established in Glasgow in 1908, may be found within.

Inside the V&A Dundee, there are instructive displays for children. Nonetheless, tourists of all ages are drawn to the hi-tech devices and old Scottish design ideas on show. The museum is free to enter, making it one of the most outstanding venues to learn about local culture without breaking the wallet.

When it was built between 1872 and 1878, the 2-mile-long Tay Rail Bridge was the world's longest bridge. It is still one of Scotland's most spectacular displays of engineering creativity. If you arrive in Dundee by train, you will be able to see this excellent railway ride firsthand. Visit its two observation platforms for sweeping views of the city and the Firth of Tay.

Take a journey to the modern Forth Road Bridge, accessible for cycling and walking, to get the most outstanding photos of this iconic monument. We suggest going right before sunset to view the colours purple, orange, and yellow reflecting off the sea below.

The Camperdown Wildlife Centre is located on the 400-acre Country Park estate, including a 19th-century house and an 18-hole golf course. Ocelots, European brown bears, wolves, lemurs, and owls can be seen. Sign the youngsters up as zookeepers for a full day of family fun.

The national park is free to enter. However, you must pay to enter the Camperdown Wildlife Centre. If you're travelling on a public holiday, we suggest making a reservation in advance. Free umbrella rental is offered on rainy days, so there's no excuse to skip a visit.
