Hotels near Dundee Airport - DND, Dundee

Lots of hidden gems around the city and outlying areas. Visit Verdant Works another stunning conversion of a mill showcasing the history of Dundee, the local people and sheer hard work of Dundee citizens to produce jute, creating wealth for the city and owners. A museum with original machinery used during this abundant time, accounts of local people, stunning photography, children activities and areas. So much to see, read and absorb. There is also a beautiful little cafe, reasonably priced, gorgeous soup, scones etc. with a small shop selling local jute items, Scottish wares and very friendly staff. Also visit Discovery museum, local pictures, history and embark the Discovery itself docked in dry harbour next to River Tay. McManus Galleries a free museum on the centre of town surrounded by local pubs, restaurants, shops etc.

1. The Discovery, and Discovery Point. Amazing! 2. The Unicorn Frigate. Built in 1824. This old ship is another treasure in Dundee, and the staff were so welcoming. 3. The V&A -Dundee. To be honest, the contents of this museum always leave me underwhelmed, but the building, both outside and in, is a real masterpiece. Stay for lunch or a coffee in the cafe. The views over The River Tay and down onto The Discovery are Instagram-worthy. 4. The Verdant Works. Explore Dundee's industrial history in this absorbing museum. 5. The McManus Art Gallery. A beautiful building, housing a wonderful art collection. 6. Travel outside of the city centre, and just a few minutes away, is the beautiful seaside suburb of Broughty Ferry. Plenty of little interesting shops, cafes, and pubs, and a superb play park by the water for the youngsters.

We visited the V&A museum and the Discovery ship; both worth a visit if the weather isn't good. Broughty Ferry is well worth a visit as is St Andrews, which can both be accessed easily by bus.

Great city with rich social history. So much to see. Rich musical past. V&A superb. Verdant Works, Discovery, the Carr Lightship. We live quite nearby but as my partner was playing for two nights with the Grand Gestures, we decided to treat ourselves, take it easy and stay in a hotel. The Apex was brilliant - great dockside location, and handy (easily walkable, even for me with my arthriticky hips and knees) for everything. Took a wee trip up to Arbroath - chips by the harbour. Couldn't be better.

There was plenty to see and do for everyone. The area around the quayside was amazing. The city bus tour was also excellent, amazing views from the top deck. The audio commentary on the city was very informative.

Dundee is a beautiful place by the sea. We went to the Verdant Jute Mill which is a must see!!! We ate supper at Malmaison and stayed there too. This was a perfect location as it was close to the water, the beautiful ship and the train station. The food was fantastic!!!
