The best way to see Dundee's natural beauty is by car, as most of the locations require driving to get there. The journey from one location to the next will take approximately 15-30 minutes. Car rental prices start from £22 a day, but it's better to check and book in advance.
If you have more time, visit the nearby Caird Park, which has an excellent play area for children, nature walks, a golf course, and a lovely cafe. If you're looking to add a bit of Dundee's history to your day, the Discovery Point Museum tells the story of RRS Discovery and Captain Scott's expedition to the South Pole. If you have less time, we recommend visiting only two locations from the itinerary.
