Dundee's coolest winter attractions

Blog
#City Guide #Family #Travel #Entertainment
From exciting exhibitions at the world-renowned V&A to fun, educational shows at Dundee Science Centre, there are a range of cool things to do during winter in Dundee. Lucky for us, Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa is perfectly placed in the heart of the action.

Dundee is home to some of the country's coolest attractions and is the perfect place to spend an alternative city break. The City of Discovery was named on National Geographic's 'The Cool List 2019' and our Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa is lucky to call this dynamic city home.

We've made a cool list of our own and we can't wait to share it with you. Read on for our Apex Hotels 'Cool List 2019' and explore our favourite things to do in Dundee this winter.

V&A Dundee
V&A Dundee is just a short walk from Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa.

Hello, Robot.

V&A Dundee's newest exhibition 'Hello, Robot. Design between Human and Machine.' runs until 9 February 2020 and promises to be a dynamic exhibition like no other. The exhibit explores the science and fiction of robots and looks at how popular culture has shaped our perception of robots, as well as investigating the impact technology has had on industry and the blurring lines between human and machine. The exhibit is suitable for kids, teens and adults alike and is guaranteed to be one of Dundee's most exciting events this winter.

Book our 'Hello, Robot. Hello, Dundee' package now and get two tickets to this groundbreaking exhibition plus a complimentary dessert at the V&A's Tatha Bar and Restaurant, an overnight stay at Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa and full Scottish breakfast. Book your dynamic Dundee break here.
