Question 2

Is Aberdeen walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Aberdeen’s centre is easy to walk. Union Street, the harbour, Footdee, Provost Skene’s House, and the Aberdeen Maritime Museum sit close together. Old Aberdeen and St Machar’s Cathedral are farther, so many travellers prefer a short ride rather than a long walk.

First Bus routes 1 and 2 run along Union Street to Duthie Park and Bridge of Don, Route 20 reaches Old Aberdeen and RGU Garthdee, and Stagecoach Jet 727 links the city and the airport. For comfort or day trips, consider a private tour in Aberdeen with transportation included.
