Question 2

Is Dundee walkable?

Accepted Answer

Dundee is very walkable in the compact centre and along the waterfront. You can stroll between the V&A Dundee, RRS Discovery, the McManus, and Verdant Works in 10 to 20 minutes. The Law is a steep climb, and Broughty Ferry is farther along the coast.

Xplore Dundee bus 5 or Stagecoach 73 run to Broughty Ferry; Xplore 28 and 10 link the centre with Ninewells and other neighbourhoods; ScotRail trains also reach Broughty Ferry in minutes. For an easy day that includes hills or coastal stops, you might choose a private tour in Dundee with private transportation.
