Aberdeen (United Kingdom)
Aberdeen is a city that looks and feels quite different.
The mile-long Union Street is lined with classic granite buildings that help make it one of the most architecturally distinctive cities in Europe.
It is a city of the sea where ships dock right up against the city-centre streets. Where urban dolphins leap at the harbour mouth. Where locals paddle-board and surf off the city beach. And golden sands stretch for miles – towards vast dunes to the north and high cliffs to the south.
And then there’s Footdee – known locally as Fittie – a quirky fishing quarter at the water’s edge, with squares of tiny cottages, flower-filled gardens and brightly painted outhouses, their eccentric decorations drawing on the city’s seafaring soul.
Aberdeen is a cosmopolitan and connected place – with people working and studying here from across the world.
