Fairly compact in size, Aberdeen City Centre retains the nineteenth-century character of the city.
Union Street with its many shops, cafes and restaurants is the main focal point of the city centre area. The West End area, just steps away, is the Aberdeen's nightlife hub. Old Aberdeen and the university of Aberdeen are less than a mile to the north
Notable points of interest in this area include Marischal College, one of the largest Granite buildings in the world, Maritime Museum and St. Machar's Cathedral.
Hotels in Aberdeen City Center put visitors within a reasonable walking distance, or a short taxi ride, of major attractions.
