Aberdeen has much to offer those who decide to add some leisure time to their business trip. Visitors can explore the Castle Trail and the Malt Whisky Trail as well as taking in the culture and atmosphere of Aberdeen. There are a host of locations to choose from for enjoyable walks including along the North East’s unspoilt coastline.

Aberdeen is also home to many art galleries and museums including the Aberdeen Maritime Museum and the Aberdeen Art Gallery. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum is an award winning museum of the North Sea including exhibitions, computer displays and models on the offshore oil industry, clipper ships, and ship building. The museum also includes Provost Ross’s house which was built in 1593.
