The central areas can be covered by foot, but for transport out of the city centre, jump on a bus heading towards the outskirts or hire a rental car for the duration of your stay.
Rammed with free attractions alongside exorbitant restaurants and hotels, Aberdeen is a monetary paradox; it is expensive to reside in the bustling port city for a few days, however, you can barely spend a penny whilst hopping from one landmark to another. The Maritime Museum and the Aberdeen Art Gallery are free of charge, and arguably the most rewarding places to visit in the entirety of the region, though Duthie Park Winter Gardens are a close rival when the weather is agreeable with a day in the great outdoors. Balmedie Beach is also a nice day out for the family, though the infamous Scottish wind, especially on the north coast, can prove too brisk for some.
