Dundee, Scotland’s fourth largest city, rests on the northern banks of the Firth of Tay which feeds right into the North Sea. The city’s rich history can be traced back to the Mesolithic period, but the region was formally founded as a Scottish burgh during the Medieveal period. The city has one airport, the Dundee airport, which accommodates domestic services only. Car hire at Dundee - Airport can be acquired by arriving passengers in the downstairs terminal.

A90 and A92 are the two major highways which connect the city to nearby airports, cities, and local sites. The A90 further attaches to the M90 which on the westerly route leads to Perth and on the northern route leads to Aberdeen. Car rental at Dundee - Airport is available for those continuing on to Perth or Aberdeen via Dundee. Edinburgh Airport, 95kms from Dundee, is the nearest international airport, so cheap car hire at Dundee - Airport can be convenient for connecting flights abroad.

Gardyne’s Land, a complex of five unique buildings, is one of Dundee’s most notable sites. The buildings, built in the 1500s by John Gardyne, are known to be some of Dundee’s oldest structures with The Merchant House being held as Dundee’s oldest abode. Today, the complex has been turned into youth hostels popular with backpackers in the area. The houses make for an interesting stop while in the city especially if architecturally inclined. The houses can be found on 71 High Street.

Vibrant in Dundee is the rising music, film, and literature scene. Several local art museums provide an interesting look at local artistry, and local cinemas and theatres play international as well as local film. Most notable, however, are the trio of Jazz, Blues, and Guitar festivals held annually.
