The 12 best spots for wifi in Inverness

If you fancy a quick bit of Scottish history for free then this museum would be great for you - not a massive museum but plenty to see and read across a wide variety of time periods. The art gallery was quite small and unimpressive but I'm sure somebody likes it.

Lovely place to spend an hour or two as part of a trip to Inverness. Quiet location right in the centre of the city with a wide range of exhibits from natural history to ancient pottery finds. Easy to get to, close to the river. Well worth a visit.

What a gem! I thought the exhibits were thoughtfully laid out. I went to get a better overview of Scottish Highlands history. I wish I had had more time to spend there! When I left I had a better sense of what to Google and the questions I need to ask to learn more about this amazing area!!! I learnt so much in the limited time I had. Thank you!!!

This small regional museum features natural, ancient and modern history. On display are artefacts used by humans who have inhabited the area since 6500 BCE. There are plenty of well-written and informative story boards to assist our understanding of this dynamic environment. Highly recommend a visit 👍👍👍

Incredible museum and gallery. Exquisite artefacts, insightful information and engaging curation. Well, well worth a visit. It would be great to see the Dunrobin artefacts respectfully displayed here for the worth of the nation 😉

A fascinating journey through Highland history and culture. The exhibits are well-curated and cover everything from geology to the Jacobites. The free entry and friendly staff make it a must-see for anyone visiting Inverness. A real gem!

Wonderful museum. Artifacts as well as a close-up of a few of the animals and birds native to Scotland. I especially loved that information was displayed in English and Gaelic. My visit included a spoon exhibition!Quite interesting and beautifully displayed. The staff members were very pleasant. Free entry, but please make a donation if able!

Currently undergoing renovation there is no access to the interior of this, relatively modern castle. Closed or not it does dominate views of the River Nis and can be seen easily along Nis Walk

Only saw from the outside but was spectacular colourant looks new compared to some we have seen.

In my previous reviews also I have said the same thing that all castles are almost similar and they have nothing extraordinary to showcase except that they are castles & that’s it. The only one castle to see is the Edinburgh Castle on top of the Hill. Worth seeing. But if you can’t reach Edinburgh then any castle is good to see. As we were doing a road trip & we saw 3-4 castles. The only EXCEPTIONAL CASTLE was Edinburgh Castle. Must visit!!

Lovely place to visit ... YouTube : Drone View 120

The castle on 5/20/23 is undergoing restoration work and will be opened in a year or so as city services. It is a good walk around and is easily in the middle of the nightlife. There are storage and bars nearby open seven days a week. The Edinburgh Museum and Art Gallery are part of the same complex. I recommend a visit there.

Not currently open to the public. You can walk up the hill to the castle and get great views of the city and river. There are some tablets set in the ground on the city side near the car park which have some interesting historical facts about the castle. It is going to be open to the public in the next few years.

The following review is based on a pre-pandemic trip going old school and only using paper maps and brochures to find places to stop at on a 3-week adventure to Ireland, Scotland, and England. No cell phone or internet. We were not able to enter the castle but were able to walk around the grounds when we visited. The castle blends into the hill side so it looks like it is part of the terrain at some vantage points. If coming from the west, you can get some great shots from the river when walking across the foot bridge. It would have been cool to see inside but even walking around the outside of the castle was fun and the town around the castle has some great shops and restaurants. In our visit we were lucky enough to have live music at one of the pubs.

This cathedral is beautiful! You do have to pay to actually walk around the cathedral, but it is a small pay (I paid £6 as an 18+). It’s definitely worth visiting this cathedral as the stain glasses are beautiful and the history behind it is special. I am not sharing much photos as I do not want to spoil the inside of this cathedral. I definitely recommend coming here and taking the time to walk around inside it.

Inverness Cathedral is such a stunning and peaceful place to visit. The architecture is impressive, with lovely stained glass windows and detailed stonework that give it a special charm. Inside, it feels calm and welcoming — perfect for a quiet moment of reflection. The location is fantastic, right on the banks of the River Ness, so you can enjoy a scenic walk before or after visiting. The volunteers are friendly and happy to share the history of the cathedral, which makes the experience even more meaningful. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just looking for a peaceful spot in Inverness, this cathedral is well worth a visit.

new on the scale of cathedrals we seen in UK ...definitely worth a visit ...Inverness Cathedral, dedicated to St Andrew, was built in the 19th century, with its foundation stone laid in 1866 and opening for services in 1869. It was finally consecrated in 1874 after the remaining debt was paid off. The cathedral serves as the Mother Church for the Diocese of Moray, Ross and Caithness within the Scottish Episcopal Church.

A nice little Cathedral. There's some great information inside ( self guided tour ) some beautiful woodworking. The only disappointment is it seems overrun with 'nick nacks' While I understand it's a working church. It takes away from the feel of the expierence.

Beautiful church and everyone there was so kind and informative. They explained so much. Just a lovley experience.

On 6th October, my son’s family and my family were visited there. Staff lady was very kind. This cathedral was very good.

Peoples Show Choir performed here with 180 singers from across UK, and 20 musicians. It's an amazing venue, ideal for small concerts, and set in a beautiful city..

This was a great station for both arrival and departure, with well-sized platforms for the trains! Station canopy is built from beautiful glass architecture, area not underneath is lit well by the sun and many platforms are available for the highland capital. Departure boards are up to date and even though the staff were nice, they were not organized since only a few other people in queue and they could not be ready for me to buy a plusbus after nearly 10 minutes.

This is a small yet adequately spacious station with an open layout that allows plenty of room to maneuver. It avoids the claustrophobic feeling all too common among train stations in various parts of the world. This one seems right-sized relative to the activity level. The stored luggage facility here was particularly useful for us as we were able to leave our luggage here on our last day in Inverness after we had checked out of our AirBnB. We were able to conveniently pick up our bags just before our train to the airport. The connections to other major cities in Scotland from here are quite useful. We did our ticketing via the kiosks there. They were in good working order and accessible the three times we used the station. We bought our local tickets directly at the kiosk and we bought our intercity tickets on-line to claim them at the kiosk. We had no problems. The building is not an architectural gem by any means and it does show its age in many ways. But it's kept up well enough and it serves its purpose.

Toilets are lovely and clean. Don't mind paying 50p to use them but if anyone who has any influence there is reading these reviews please, please, please join the 21st century and go digital for the payments instead of cash! Literally, "tap and go" would be so much better.

I'm not a big fan of this station. The station looks run down and worst of all they charge for the toilets. I had to hold it in while waiting for my train. Not pleasant. The member of staff I meet at ticket desk was not friendly or accomidating. Overall very poor experiences.

Storage lockers are out of service (and have been for some while). Frustrating if you’re taking the Caledonian Sleeper. There are alternatives in town but some close at 6pm and others use apps which charge per baggage day rates (less good if you’ve only got a few hours to kill before your journey).

Very clean and spacious station, most large station's make a charge for toilet facilities, which is reasonable.

Just a normal train station, not very pretty or particularly clean and the toilets cost money (20p). The staff are happy and friendly. When we went, our train was on time and we found the station fine. We got lost on the way from the station to the bus stop though and missed the bus. That's because the signs to the bus station are misleading. Better ask a member of staff or trust Maps to navigate.

I really enjoyed going to this museum. My tour guide was very well informed and she seemed to be enjoying her job. We were shown a pretty problematic video, however she did offer us a trigger warning. But, they should really do away with this whole video and have it redone. They were helpful helping me find my family tartan and did have it in stock.

It was a neat place to visit to learn more about the tartans and their history. I hope they will expand on the displays further as there is much history! Hugely thankful to the sales team that helped me find my family tartan and the woman who directed me to the map that had great detail on the clan locations and tartans. The whole team was very happy to answer questions too. Sadly my family’s tartan wasn’t included in the display.

Shocking levels of service, lazy and disinterested female senior member of staff. Beyond rude on the phone too, thoroughly condescending. Avoid at all costs

The visit is not worth your time. Very little to show and an old film disrespectful of Scottish traditions. No thanks

The exposition was not so great as u would expect. I know it's only 2.5 pounds, but I imagine that adding a short guided tour between the kilts and uniforms the have in the exhibit, the tour could be more and more enjoyable. Anyway I loved their kilts and I bought one for me. It was not cheap but it had superb wool and realization

Thank you for a beautiful job on my outfit. May 2019. I also ordered extra 2 yards. This week we laid my Auntie to rest and we drapped the extra cloth over her coffin.

The shop is nicely laid even if quite eclectic (from genuine quality tartans and scottish wool products, to extremely touristy plastic bobbles). I regret not being able to see the weavers.

I always order soya latte but somehow it’s made differently each time. It’s made well when i order for sit in not takeaway. Overall nice cafe environment.

After a wonderful walking tour in icy cold weather we enjoyed Cappuccino and hot tea in relaxing atmosphere gazing at people walking outside. The place has a small selection of cakes and pastries and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and nice relaxing music played in the background.

The food is delicious but the staff is very sullen and when they do extra work they huff and puff and behave rudely. I think this will be my last time going there. If you want to encounter an unhappy ending, be prepared.

worst capuccino this side of Milano I say. Taste of burned coffee, not even the 3rd sugar helped. Trainee totally lost and not really a front person.

The place is nice but the service needs proper training. The barista forget our order one minute after we placed the order. The place needs new chairs because the ones they have are in very bad shape.

Large inside so social distancing is comfortably possible. Good choice of searing and comfortable chairs. Coffee is well priced and strong with a good variety of options and alternatives to dairy. Also a tasty selection of cakes and alternate snacks. Comfortable atmosphere for both s short stop in or a long stay for chatting and relaxing. Well lit and wheelchair accessible.

Delicious fruit booster! A really good smoothie. But I wish the tables were a bit cleaner and the staff seemed a bit stressed and not too nice to each other. The AC was on and it was quite chilly in here. Nice if it were a bit more sunny outside

Like Starbucks but better. Everywhere & enjoyed them all. Got Flat Whites wherever we went. The Costa in Limerick by a Home Depot type store didn't quite get the Flat White exactly as my wife was expecting but good nonetheless. I enjoyed every coffee bought at Costa!

I adore their coffee the taste and the touch is simply perfect , the patisseries are delicious 😋. Must try their coffee with a piece of cake

The staff is perfect and very polite. Especially Paul made me coffee exactly how I wanted it for the first time in this coffee chain. Very clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

I love decent coffee and am a fan of Costa.This store is one of their older ones and has a lovely friendly team who take the time to chat to their customers. There are a group of loyal regulars who continue to come to this branch due to the Costa team who work there. They definately make the store , plus they serve really good coffees. Highly recommended

When it’s cold and wet, and Boxing Day, it was great to find this coffee shop open for business. Friendly staff and a wide array of snacks, coffee and tea, made for a good place for a coffee and a snack. As always, any loyalty points always counts, and I was able to add a few today. Just a minute walk from the hotel I was staying at, so a perfect location as well as for the shops. Well done to the staff too.

Had a mocha and a croissant, my two friends got hot chocolates and millionaire's slices. Great and fast service, has a mandatory system so they can notify you if someone else who entered on the day had corona. A tad expensive, but the drinks and food were good and the seats were comfortable. Overall, a great experience.

I was in two mornings in a row about 8.30am. First day I had take away late and second day I sat in. That day I had latte and porridge. The same person - only staff member I remember there - serving both mornings. She was lovely. Very mannerly, courteous and efficient.

One of the very few cafes that is open at 8am on a Sunday. The breakfast here was delicious. Friendly staff and quick service. Wonderful ambience. Definitely recommended if you want to grab a quick bite.

Our first breakfast in Scotland. We tried the traditional dish. Delicious. We didn't understand how the ordering system works, but managed to get food. Quiet place.

Café de Paulo is an absolute delight tucked away in the charming Victorian Market. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in both the food and service. I ordered a beautifully presented breakfast plate featuring fluffy pancakes topped with fresh strawberries, bananas, blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of honey. The scrambled eggs on the side were creamy and perfectly seasoned—true comfort food. To complement the meal, I had a hot chocolate with the most stunning latte art I’ve seen. It was rich, velvety, and balanced—not too sweet, just how I like it. The attention to detail, from presentation to flavor, was impressive. There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options too, which makes it accessible for everyone. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Inverness—whether you’re a local or just passing through, Café de Paulo is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to!

This little cafe which serves breakfast and lunch is located with the Victorian Market precinct. They have good coffee and wonderful ham and cheddar toasties that are deeply satisfying 😂 Friendly staff, nice atmosphere dining inside or outside in hallway, and charming decor. Recommend this place 👍👍👍

Pros - Great tasting food and portion size. Great atmosphere Good location to the town Con - Would love to see milk alternatives in the future. Staff weren't very talkative.

Probably the only good breakfast place in the Victorian market. Quite a large portion for scottish breakfast. Enough for 2! And a very decent coronation chicken panini. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. Not so good for coffee though

Nice cafe in the Victorian market, the staff were very friendly and informative. I ordered a fruit scone that came with butter and jam, the scone was quite large and sweetened well, only down side it was a bit dry.

I love coffee, and love Starbucks but this one oh NO. The coffee was terrible it was caramel latte and weak, I could see she put too much milk in and not enough caramel. Every table in the place that were free were dirty, had empty cups and rubbish all over. And the worst of all was the toilet it had old tampon applicators just lying on the floor next to the box. They were dirty the toilets were covered in urine just disgusting.

Great location, especially if you're using the chargers across the road in the car park. Not a dog-friendly Starbucks though, and no signs on the door to tell you otherwise. 0/10 for that alone, as it was raining heavily. Wasn't busy, nobody else appeared to care, staff terribly apologetic, but the franchisees rules are the rules, apparently...

The coffee maybe good but be very careful if you are proposing to arrive by car. The car park is run by an organisation that delights in not having their payment machines working but their CCTV does work so they can send you a parking fine after your visit. This obviously happens quite frequently and the issue does not appear to be being addressed. I won't be going again.

Been here a few times and each time the coffee is disappointing. I’m a huge Starbucks fan but won’t be returning to this one any time soon. Staff aren’t friendly, service is poor and coffee is terrible. Tastes watered down and half the time the order is wrong. Direct yourself to another venue if you can.

I’ve visited the Inverness Starbucks a couple of times, and sadly the taste is disappointing. I drink a tiramisu iced latte every day at the Aberdeen branch, but I’ve never had the same flavour here no idea why, but it’s consistently worse, and the site is never clean but the service was good though!

Visited this Starbucks twice last week while on our way to Isle of Skye & then back & had to charge our car in the car park just opposite. Good coffee, refreshing cool drinks, fresh cakes, friendly staff & clean toilets.

Horrible. The staff here is TERRIBLE. No smile, argued with me about the way I ordered my drink...dirty tables everywhere. I travel a lot...i've been to Starbucks all of over the US, UK and Europe and this is BY FAR the worst experience I have ever had. These employees let you know that they don't want to be there...and the drinks they made for us were TERRIBLE. When we asked for some alterations the attitude we got was awful. Skip this location...you'll regret going.

Cute little cafe with sandwich options and desserts, a few of which were gluten free! I had a bacon and cheese croissant which was so buttery and flaky. Would come again if I’m ever back in Inverness

Best flat white I’ve had maybe ever! Breakfast bagel was delicious, well balanced, and generously portioned. Millionaire brownie felt incredibly indulgent and I regret nothing! Not too sweet, full of flavor and great texture/mouthfeel! There was no queue when I arrived (how?!), and the service was welcoming, friendly, and fast! I might live here now.

Very nice café well located and with a great choice of beverages and cakes. The staff is very friendly. They have gluten-free options as well.

Outstanding specialty coffee with their own roasted beans, delicious cakes, very kind staff and bright venue. A must in Inverness

Lovely relaxed friendly place with great coffee. Even with angry German tourists ( angry at the rain not the coffee ) it’s lovely So much better than the lines of Costa and Starbucks

Great corner coffee shop. Mocha's were very tasty, some of the better ones we had all week while in Scotland. Had a strawberry shortcake bar of some type that was also very good. Good location near the river and downtown area.

Great coffee and treats. I had a perfect flat white.

A basic single pad rink which caters heavily for curlers during their season. Also offers hockey and figure sessions, plus synchronized skating and a few public sessions. Often closes April to July when they put a floor down and host Strictly Inverness and a few other events before relaying ice for summer skate camps just before the curling season starts again.

Says they are open till 11pm, I phoned and no one answered, decided to travel 3 hours to go and no one is here, doors are locked and no one is around! I’ve wasted money and time but would have been nice to actually display Correct times on google as to prevent anyone wasting time and money for no reason!!!

Highland Top Team Jiu Jitsu is an excellent academy for learning Jiu Jitsu. The coach is very professional and communicative. I attended a couple of classes during my vacation and was greeted very warmly and friendly by both the coaches and the students. Congratulations, and many thank for your very much welcome and friendship.

Had a great game of Curling here for the second time. The ice is great, clean and keen. The changing room is dated and toilets are tired but the bar and seating area is good and the service from the staff is warm and friendly, the best of Scottish. Enjoyed a drink and food there too.

Great concert venue!

Very nice, but very cold if you are a spectator! Good hot chocolate 😋.

Get the cafe done up, cheaper than the rest and good tunes. Problem solved
