Northern Nights
As the long summer days fade into darker, star-filled nights, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire come alive with new experiences to enjoy after dark.
This winter, discover the region’s rich culture and heritage, from illuminated landmarks and fascinating museums to live performances and contemporary art. In Aberdeen city, follow our Cultural Trail map to explore some of the must-see spots that shine after dark.
Then, venture further to enjoy local flavours in cosy restaurants and bars or look to the skies for dazzling meteor showers and the chance to spot the Northern Lights.
Whether you’re here for culture, food or the beauty of the night sky, Northern Nights invites you to experience Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire in a whole new light.
