Dundee has been named one of Scotland’s best day trip destinations for culture

Dundee has been named one of the best day trip destinations in Scotland for culture by The Telegraph, further cementing its status as a key player in the country’s cultural landscape.

The recognition comes as part of a wider feature highlighting the best day trips outwith Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital for day trips centred around heritage, design, and the arts.

While the list touches on urban and hidden gems alike, Dundee stood out for its mix of established institutions and its ability to balance the old with the new.

The mention reflects the city’s growing reputation beyond Tayside, with national media continuing to take notice of the steady cultural momentum that’s been building over the last decade.

The spotlight comes as major projects continue to evolve in the city, including the forthcoming Eden Project, which is set to strengthen Dundee’s cultural and environmental credentials even further.

Also noted was Dundee’s proximity to Broughty Ferry, which continues to be a popular extension for visitors, offering a contrast to the urban centre with its coastal setting and historic landmarks.
