A city break in Dundee can be a great choice for any budget and taste, but its the perfect city to visit for families who are looking for child-friendly attractions, shopping, restaurants and activities.

Children, and adults, will enjoy visiting Dundee's attractions as you can choose from a range of hands-on museums and historic centres. Step onboard one of two historic ships at the city's waterfront, get involved in science experiments at Sensation, or see the stars at the UK's only full-time observatory.

Spend a few hours shopping in the city centre, with two shopping centres and a number of streets packed with independent stores and high street brands. Relax in one of the city cafés and restaurants or enjoy fresh local produce at a city market.

Take the children to see a show at one of Dundee's cultural venues - Dundee Rep is home to Scotland's only full-time dramatic company and Dundee Contemporary Arts offers films and special exhibitions.

Surrounding Dundee is the beautiful countryside of Angus and Perthshire, with a range of family-friendly outdoor activities on offer from kayaking and sailing to country walks.

There's a range of accommodation in Dundee to suit families and all other budgets. Find a hotel, B&B, self-catering or another option which is within your price range and accessible to the city centre.
