Perth is the UK’s first UNESCO City of Craft and Folk Art and, once you’re here, it’s easy to see why. The city’s history and character is woven throughout its grand museums, art galleries, outdoor installations and trails. Take in a show, have a day at the races, visit a palace or castle, and discover world-renowned art exhibitions.
Enjoy the river and the land's ancient heritage, alongside scenic green walkways, parks, and gardens – you can even find a golf course in the city centre. Whether by foot, bike, paddleboard or kayak, you can lap up the sights the spectacular city has to offer – make sure to keep an eye out for the unexpected local wildlife, including otters, beavers and red squirrels.
For those with a more adventurous streak, a short hike from the city can take you up to some spectacular viewpoints with sweeping landscapes across a wide stretch of Scotland.
