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'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 is suitable for kids, teens and adults alike and is guaranteed to be one of Dundee's most exciting events this winter.
