Dundee packs a lot into a compact city, from the waterfront museums that trace its jute, jam and journalism heritage to a scattering of activity centres for wetter afternoons. Verdant Works and The McManus cover the history well, while Dundee Law offers the best view over the Tay for anyone wanting the lie of the land.
Families and groups tend to gravitate towards the indoor options such as Avertical World Climbing Centre, Block10 Bouldering and TeamSport Indoor Karting, all useful year-round regardless of weather. For something outdoors, Ancrum Outdoor Centre and SaltDog Marine make the most of the river, and Claverhouse Equestrian Centre suits those wanting to get out of town altogether.
Trails like the Dundee Treasure Trail are a good way to string several sights together on foot, especially for visitors trying to cover the city centre in a single day.
