Aberdeen is officially Scotland's most fun city, according to travel experts who praised the Granite City for its cheap pints and cinema tickets.
Experts at Braw Scottish Tours analysed 50 towns and cities across the UK, looking at factors including entertainment and nightlife, recreation and outdoor activities, and lifestyle and amenities.
And the Granite City was named number 1 in Scotland, and 6th across the whole of the UK, only pipped by hotspots like Newcastle and Manchester, the Scottish Daily Express reports.
Aberdeen is quickly becoming a top tourist destination, with Port of Aberdeen reporting a record-breaking cruise season in 2025, up 79% on 2024.
The Aberdeen Adventurer tour bus also launched last summer and proved an immediate hit with visitors and locals alike.
The runaway success of the Tall Ships Races in the summer drew almost 500,000 visits, generating an economic impact "beyond event what we had hoped for", according to Aberdeen Inspired chief executive Adrian Watson.
The city has already launched a bid to host the festival again.
Judges at Braw Scottish Tours also looked at pubs and live music venues, parks and the cost of a pint or movie ticket, with Aberdeen coming out on top north of the border.
They said: "It is among the cheapest cities for both pints and cinema tickets, while also ranking highly for golf courses and beverage stores. Its nightlife and gym provision is more limited, but it appeals to visitors looking for value and a slower pace."
The average pint in Aberdeen came in at £4, compared to £4.95 in Glasgow and £5.35 in Edinburgh. Cinema tickets were also much cheaper at £6.50 - less than Edinburgh's £11 and Glasgow's £13.
