Sightseeing
Located on the historic waterfront of the city, the V&A Dundee is a newer addition to the city's design scene and is also Scotland's first museum dedicated solely to design. Delve into a world of design and creativity through permanent displays and ever-changing exhibitions which showcase the very best of design from across Scotland and around the world. Designed by internationally acclaimed Japanese architect, Kengo Kuma, the museum building itself is an incredible feat of innovation and design to marvel at, before you even set foot inside. The edgy and modern feel of the building was inspired by the dramatic cliffs that can be found along Scotland's east coast and was designed to reconnect the city with the historic riverside.

Just outside Dundee city centre lies Broughty Ferry. Here you can visit Broughty Castle Museum and afterwards, enjoy a wander along the long stretch of sandy beach and a stroll along the high street.

Head to the castle museum where you can learn more about the people, environment, history and wildlife of Broughty Ferry, from historic battles and sieges, to galleries of paintings and artworks, there's plenty to get stuck into. Head along Broughty Ferry Beach from just outside the castle which offers splendid views out to sea, and lush golden sands to wander along. Climb the grassy dunes which back the beach, build a sand castle or two, keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the water, or dip your toes in the crisp sea.

What better way to start off your time in the city than by getting your bearings atop the Dundee Law? Walk, or drive, to the summit for unparalleled views over Dundee, the River Tay and beyond. The Law rises to a height of 174 metres and is the highest point in the city, but can be accessed on foot, by bus or car; and if you fancy a challenge, try the signposted walking trail "Town to Top" from Dundee City Square to the summit.
