A granite city built between the Don and the Dee, Aberdeen is Scotland’s third city. Its old town, both medieval and Victorian, has turned into a modern and cosmopolitan area and boasts of a very dynamic arts scene. Aberdeen has been a university town for 500 years and hosts many student parties, concerts and festivals. It is also the energy capital of Europe due to its strong oil and gas industry in the North Sea. Not to mention its booming international airport, which offers excellent connections with the European continent.
