Aberdeen in 1 day

If you only have 1 day to spend in Aberdeen, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Aberdeen offers a striking mix of historic granite architecture and a busy modern harbor, giving the city its “Granite City” character and maritime feel. Visitors can explore museums such as the Aberdeen Maritime Museum, stroll along the long sandy beach, or wander through Old Aberdeen with its cobbled streets and ancient university. Nearby, Royal Deeside and the wider Aberdeenshire countryside provide access to castles, coastal villages, and walking routes. The city also serves as a practical base for exploring whisky trails and the dramatic North Sea coastline.
With favorites like Bon Accord Aberdeen, His Majesty's Theatre, and Upperkrust by VIP Patisserie, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Shri Bheema's and Upperkrust Aberdeen so you can get the best taste of Aberdeen while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Bon Accord Aberdeen

Shopping mall
Shopping
Bon Accord Aberdeen is a central shopping mall featuring over 65 stores, including upscale fashion boutiques, cafes, and sushi spots. It's home to popular brands like Next, New Look, Hobbs, and Sostrene Grene as well as local retailers offering unique shopping experiences. During the festive season, Bon Accord transforms into a magical Christmas destination with Santa's workshop supporting local charity Charlie House and Christmas-themed Mini Golf fun.
Negative Parking Review: The parking experience at BON Accord Shopping Centre was quite disappointing. The car park layout is cramped with narrow spaces, making it difficult to park larger vehicles. Signage is confusing, leading to a frustrating experience when trying to find a spot or exit. Additionally, the pricing seems steep compared to other nearby car parks, and the payment machines are outdated, often causing delays. For a shopping centre of this size, I expected a more convenient and accessible parking arrangement. Positive Overall Review: Overall, BON Accord Shopping Centre is a fantastic place for shopping and leisure. It offers a great selection of stores, catering to various tastes and budgets, with everything from popular high street brands to unique independent shops. The food court has a decent variety of dining options, making it easy to grab a quick bite or enjoy a sit-down meal. The centre is well-maintained and clean, and staff are friendly and helpful. The location in the heart of Aberdeen makes it convenient, and it’s a go-to spot for all kinds of shopping needs.

Lovely shopping mall and in amongst lovely surroundings. Plenty of historic churches, the docks, the art gallery and the music hall very nearby, the huge library and so many theatres and wonderful paintings; even the sides of several buildings nearby and gorgeous parkland very nearby. I think Aberdeen is a wonderful place to visit and has a great deal to offer any visitor.
Jason G — Google review
I like it. There's a wide variety of stores and options for you to get almost anything you're looking for. It's basically a simpler version of Union Square which is close-by. Additionally, you can walk through the Bon Accord as a shortcut linking union street and the other streets behind Bon Accord. This is very helpful. There is a post office, pharmacy, multiple jewellery stores, eateries, and many more outlets for a good shopping and leisure experience.
Enoch O — Google review
Bon Accord is a handy little shopping centre for everyday needs. It’s not huge and the range of shops is limited, but you can still find something useful. There’s a big Boots, a Next, New Look, and a couple of cafés upstairs where you can grab a quick bite. Nothing fancy, but it’s clean and convenient if you just want to pop in after work for some essentials.

Shopping centre is good. Choice of shops are ok but the sainsburys that's in between the two centers is just a simple joke, the staff are clueless and this management has not done good for the brand and should be looked into. Clueless and can't even communicate with customers

Art Museums
Aberdeen Art Gallery, housed in a stunning granite building, showcases an extensive collection of art spanning over 700 years. The gallery features 22 galleries and exhibits, including paintings, designs, and contemporary artworks. It also includes the Cowdray Hall concert venue and the city's Remembrance Hall. Renowned for its Victorian architecture by Alexander Marshall Mackenzie, it is the largest public art gallery in northern Scotland.
Lovely place to visit and fit donation only Enjoyed the variety of art and the encouragement to do my own drawing. Photos of my favourite pieces which are mainly contemporary but a lot of classical pieces too. Gallery is light and bright with sun light through sun column in middle. Do visit the top floor to be able to go outside and see Aberdeen with height..Great coffee too
Jayesh ( — Google review
Spent a couple of hours exploring this gallery and was most impressed. While the collection is naturally focused on Aberdeen and Scottish art, it does have a diversity of art, including sculptures, paintings, modern, eclectic, and also works by the French Impressionists (Renoir, Monet). The galleries are well laid out, and the artwork is well presented in a family-friendly way. This is a definite gem in Aberdeen’s cultural and heritage portfolio. Well worth visiting when in Aberdeen. Highly recommended.

Beautiful gallery with so many incredible features. The building itself is gorgeous, along with all the fascinating artwork 🖼️ exhibitions and the roof terrace is an added bonus. The gallery is full of interesting exhibitions, some interactive - from Aberdeen history to suffragette movements. It is absolutely worth a visit, it’s free and I definitely recommend the stunning views from the roof terrace too. Fo not miss this place. Thanks to all the tinder staff for galleries like this ❤️
Radiate R — Google review
What a revelation - one on the best art galleries I have ever visited - we are lucky in our home city regions of Liverpool and Manchester to access amazing facilities and the day before we visited the V&A Storehouse in East London, but this was something else - so well curated and beautiful spaces and galleries, hard to describe how well done it is from the sketch pads to capture your own creativity, to the remembrance hall that is so moving. Its clearly benefited from great investment but its the curation that wins through - a must visit.
Nick T — Google review
I make it a point to visit an art gallery in every city I go to. These days many galleries focus on modern art which is not really my thing so it was great to see Aberdeen Art Gallery still showcasing traditional styles that clearly remain valued by the public. There are some incredible pieces here and I even discovered a few new favourites. Special shout out to Joseph Farquharson and Ken Currie in my opinion two of the most amazing artists with paintings on display. The staff are very welcoming and do not pressure you into donations which is appreciated since the gallery like many others is free to explore. It is on the smaller side which is a bit of a downside but for its size it packs in a great variety of work. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Aberdeen.
Bob J — Google review
Huge art gallery with interesting interactive display in the ground floor explaining the history. Good mix of styles and eras. Highlights: Fascinating room on McBey Interesting comparison of English/ French styles in impressionists. The Aberdeen/ Doric room Shocked to come across my young doppelganger, painted by Dorothy Johnstone. Nice shop Helpful staff. A jewel for the region and well beyond P.S. What happened to the bodies under Gallery 4?
Felicity G — Google review
Enjoyable, friendly and easily accessible visit. Just a shame about the disabled parking outside. The number of people without badges sitting, waiting in their cars is a real slight on the city. Hopefully the gallery is doing what they can to get this changed so their visitors can actually get close to the place.

Concerts & Shows
Theaters
His Majesty's Theatre, an iconic Edwardian venue in Aberdeen, is a popular attraction known for hosting classic drama, musicals, opera, and dance performances. Renowned for its unique features and prestigious status in Scotland, the theatre has welcomed esteemed personalities like Sir Sean Connery and Sir Ian McKellan. Designed by architect Frank Matcham and refurbished in 2006 with a stunning glass-fronted box office, it can accommodate up to 1,400 people.
We went to watch the six musical. My daughter loved it! The theater is massive! Pick your seat wisely..we had the seats at the top at the back I didn't expect it to be so high..I got a bit anxious about it but it was fine. The seats are a bit dated and needing a bit of a refresh but all in all was a good theater and show.
Lorna M — Google review
The theatre was easy to get into to, button operated door. The only issue I encountered was the disabled toilet in the foyer corridor was very hard to get into. It was a narrow corridor and the door opened out into the corridor. I had to wheel past the door turn face on open pull the door and wheel backwards to pull door back against the wall. As there wasn't enough room to open door and stay facing the opening then wheel in while pulling the door from fully against the wall to closed. Then do the same to get out, while trying not to hit other patrons. Another wheelchair user had to drive about a meter forward so I could open the door fully to get out, they then had to reverse into the toilet as had to room to turn around. The toilet right beside the seats was fantastic, very spacious and room to maneuver the door. The staff were brilliant at helping me find my space and offering assistance with doors and where things were. My seat had an amazing view, was on a slightly raised platform so I could see above everyone's heads. If you're going to see the lion the witch and the wardrobe, you will love it. Would recommend this theatre for wheelchair users, very accesible. Jut use the toilet near the seats for easier use.

We had seats up in the balcony it’s a bit of a climb although there is a lift that takes you half way but if your mobility is not great I’d recommend seats lower down. Despite the climb the view was good and certainly didn’t spoil the show. Absolutely fantastic and will definitely be back for more shows in the future.

Lovely bar. Good atmosphere and good music. However, charged 2 different prices for the same cocktail which was also made differently (missing 1 shot of alcohol) depending on who made it. Had a great time however it seems like it just depends who you are served by which determines the service and standard.

I had a small single room, and it was just perfect. Firm, but comfortable bed, powerful shower, clean and quiet. No kettle in the room, but an area nearby with a coffee/hot water machine, microwave, vending machine, fresh fruit, and everything you need to make a nice cuppa Tables and games available there too. Easy check in/out, with lovely staff.

We stayed here for two nights. The rooms are tiny, no power sockets next to the bed, USB socket defective, window subterranean towards a busy road. The bathroom is equally tiny, tall or big people will have problems to just sit on the toilet straight. To place two bigger bags or suitcases in the room is like playing Tetris. The community room is about 28 degrees warm and has no air. However, the coffee is good if there is water in the machine. If not, congratulations, you can go back to your room an get some from the tab because there is none next to the machine. All staff I met were friendly and efficient - no complaints. I guess the hotel is catering more towards the young crowd as the bar turns into a disco in the evenings. Average age is 12 (I am exaggerating) They serve shots, beer and a Gin Tonic that mostly tastes of chlorine because the ice cubes are made from tap water. Would I recommend the place as a hotel? Definitely No! Did I mention it is not cheap? It you want to enjoy some drinks and music, maybe.
Stefan W — Google review
Staff team were friendly and welcoming. Bar was cosy and drinks were a good price. The room was in need of a little TLC with some updates required. There were some holes in the wall in one of the rooms. Locks didn't work on the bathroom and the sink plug didn't stay down. Would be nice if some tea / coffee items could be provided.

Shri Bheema's is a popular and stylish restaurant in Aberdeen, offering classic Indian dishes from both the North and South regions. The family-owned venue has earned numerous awards for its authentic cuisine and chic yet homey atmosphere. Named after a character from an ancient Indian epic poem, the restaurant is known for its strength in serving delectable dishes like prawn jalfrezi and Dum Ki Nalli.
Again came because of the reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant, staff very friendly and nice, house music playing in the background which I love and all around lovely experience. It's the first Indian I've had in Scotland and I don't come here often but if I'm ever back in Aberdeen again I'll definitely come back here ! 👌🏻

Worst biriyani in Aberdeen. They are just mixing up some rice with some other Curry or some other dishes. Just reheating it. Service is really bad. I asked for pack my balance food for not wasting it. But they just dropped a parcel box and carry bag on my table to pack myself. Such a rude behavior. Never ever visit again or don't recommend to anyone.

Upperkrust Aberdeen is a delightful sandwich shop that offers a diverse menu and flavorful dishes. The prices are reasonable, and the establishment has a distinct independent vibe, setting it apart from generic chain stores. While the indoor seating capacity is limited, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The menu boasts an extensive selection of delectable treats, generously portioned to satisfy any appetite. With so many enticing options, multiple visits will be necessary to fully explore all that Upperkrust Aberdeen has to offer.
A real taste of Aberdeen hospitality! The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent as was the atmosphere. An independent business that deserves all the support that it gets!

It's a small but comfortable place with a different vibe. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I'd give a 4 on cleanliness, but I wouldn't call it dirty. The food was in generous portions (we had the tuna melt and baked potatoes) and so was the coffee. Overall, we were very happy with the meal.

This place should be named one of Aberdeen gems!!! The service, food and atmosphere are a delight you cannot miss if you come to visit Aberdeen , I am a resident and I hace a severe addiction to this place and I come to order my breakfast wrap once a week, at least. For the same standar price you can add fillings and their catering variety is so wide. They also have all sweet tooth treats for a nice cuppa and even they have party packages .

Had some tasty lentil soup and a tuna sandwich with some flavoursome coffee. Moderately priced having a definitively independent character rather than just another chain store.

Revolution Aberdeen, located on Belmont Street, is a popular choice among the best bars in the city. It offers a global menu of comfort-food classics and hosts nightly happy hours. The bar is known for its delicious cocktails and live DJ sets, making it a great spot to enjoy good food and drinks. With an outdoor seating area, it's especially popular when the sun is out.
Not the type of venue that I would normally visit but what a surprise. The staff were outstanding in the delivery of customer service, which all seemed to be very natural. Our dog was also made most welcome and the staff couldn't have been more helpful in assisting my wife to enter and leave the premises despite her using a mobility scooter. The food was terrific and we left assuring ourselves that we have been missing out by not visiting sooner.

We visited last night for a 'Virgin Experience Cocktail Master Class'. The Master Class from Paddy was excellent. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable. We 100% recommend him. We learned lots from him. However, our pre-booked, post-Experience meal 'experience' was rubbish. Paddy made sure our starter arrived soon after our cocktails (at 7.15pm) but the rest of our pre-ordered meal never arrived, despite asking for it from the person who we thought was in charge of getting food out - she was singularly focused on other people (Tall Ships crew). We left because over an hour between a starter and the non-arrival of a main (despite asking for it) is just rubbish. DO: Go to Revolution because Paddy is excellent. NEVER EVER: Go to Revolution because everyone else appears to be rubbish.

Yatai Izakaya is a delightful blend of modern and traditional Japanese cuisine, helmed by the talented chef John Jones. With an impressive background that includes cooking for Honda executives and working in renowned establishments like Zuma and Umu Kaiseki, Chef Jones brings a wealth of experience to the table. His culinary journey through Japan has allowed him to master authentic flavors and select top-notch ingredients. This casual yet stylish eatery offers an array of dishes ranging from generous sharing plates to tantalizing small bites.
Very enjoyable dinner here recently. Ate our fill! Good selection of cold and hot options. All the classics are there as well as some new ones (at least for me) Highlights was the tuna ceviche, the pork belly nap and my personal favourite the octopus balls. Total cost was £80 inc a number of beers for two.

The food was so good that I totally forgotten to take pictures of them. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Not forgetting the service was superb as well. When you get in, it looks small but there’s another door that goes upstairs with more seating. Upstairs would be a nice place for a private function. Totally recommend this place for a good Japanese meal.

Food was fantastic although I was unable to try the ramen as they stop selling this after around 7. However the staff were very friendly and talked us through the menu and even encouraged us to try the octopus balls (something I would usually avoid at all costs) but I must say they were excellent and I was left wanting more. They even gave us some free plum wine as it was my birthday, the plum wine was delicious and very sweet.

Excellent food and service, love the menu where the chef decides what you will be served, based on what you tell the waiter you like and don't. High quality ingredients, would not say all dishes are 100% authentic but all a delight nonetheless. The decoration by the bar is very Japanese-like, well done

Raihan M — Google review
We went for my boyfriend's birthday and had a good enough time. However, despite the excellent table service, upon arrival we were disappointed by the kitchen on more than one instance. We both love ramen and always have it when we go to a new Asian place; unfortunately, when we got there at 20.15 we were told ramen is not served at this time as it is a big hassle. Had we known that in advance, we would probably have changed our plans and gone there for lunch instead. After this initial disappointment it also became clear some of the salmon dishes are not available either. The portions were rather small, but the waitress did let us know about that so it was fine. When we got the food our 'meh' attitude was turned around - the octopus balls and the salad were fabulous! Gyoza and the chicken dish with the egg dip (cant remember the name) were also spot on, so at the end of the day we did have a nice dinner just not what we were expecting. The girl who served our food and helped us choose was very nice, she also offered us a complimentary shot of plum wine which was 11/10 and made my night! P.s I forgot to take pictures of all the food, but it all looked good

Food is fantastic, highly recommend. Service is excellent as well. Went for the ramen and wasn't disappointed, best I've had.
