The party city

Aberdeen’s lively social scene is an intoxicating mix of traditional pubs and cool clubs, with establishments offering a cocktail of classic favourites and modern fusion.

North-eastern Scotland is home to Brewdog, and with no less than three bars in the centre of Aberdeen, this self-declared craft beer pioneer is an absolute must. The Granite City, as Aberdeen is often called, has no less than seven bars that only serve beer from local microbreweries. Some of them have joined forces to create a craft beer kilometre, providing a pre-planned route for enthusiasts wanting to sample the delicious, local brew.

Aberdeen’s granite mile, otherwise known as Union Street, is a good starting point for anyone wanting to explore the city’s night life. The side streets here are home to several of the best bars in the city, including Scotland’s number one cocktail bar, Orchid.

If you’re after an authentic taste of Scotland, you should go for a dram of whisky. CASC (Cigars, Ale, Scotch & Coffee) serves local whiskies, such as Glen Garioch, which is distilled less than 20 km from the city centre.

Call into Grape & Grain, a luxurious wine bar, or 21 Crimes, the city’s only speakeasy. If you can find it! Club Tropicana and Vogue are perfect destinations for party animals with a penchant for hits from the 80s and 90s, while the sophisticated clubs of NOX and Babylon offer more modern music.

If you’re feeling lucky, Soul Bar & Casino may be the place for you. It’s situated in an old church in the heart of the city. And we mustn’t forget The Tunnels. Tucked away under historic Union Street, you will find one of Aberdeen’s best live stages. Music-lovers can enjoy DJ sets and club nights lasting well into the wee hours.

Across the pond

Do it your way is the message from Visit Liverpool, promising that you really can come as you are – whether you’re here for the museums and galleries, some football, The Beatles, or some crazy Bongo’s Bingo.

The city between seven mountains

There’s a lack of consensus as to which of the mountains surrounding Bergen actually belong to the “seven mountains”, but everyone can at least agree that Ulriken and Fløyfjellet are two of them, so we decided to take the kids on a hike ‘across Vidden’, as the locals say. This walk is around 15 kilometres, and can comfortably be done in a day, even with a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old in tow.

Lofoten’s wild west

The Lofoten wall extends over 100 km out into the Norwegian Sea. Out towards its tip lies Moskenes island with its green meadows, white beaches and majestic mountains. A tour of Moskenes takes 2 to 5 days, depending on how many detours you’re tempted to make and how much time you have at your disposal.

Lighthouse holiday at the mouth of the fjord

Off the Trøndelag coast lies the large island of Hitra. A little further out is the beautiful island of Frøya. A boat ride beyond is the little island community of Mausund, and another boat ride takes you to Vingleia lighthouse, at the mouth of the fjord.
