The V&A Dundee, Scotland's design museum, and the RRS Discovery are major draws, alongside the city's revitalised waterfront.

Activities

Cultural exploration in museums and galleries, waterfront walks, and visits to the nearby countryside for outdoor activities like hiking in the Sidlaw Hills cater to those seeking a mix of urban and natural adventures.
