Physiotherapy student Lorynne shares her top places to explore in Aberdeen<\/a> as an international student at RGU<\/a>, from things to do to places to eat! <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Codona\u2019s has many fun things to do throughout the year! During the summer you can enjoy the many attractions that Codona\u2019s has to offer including the Ferris wheel, mini golf, go-kart racetrack, among other rides. <\/p>\n Indoor activities offered include bowling, laser tag, and an arcade. This is the perfect place to get together with friends, and it\u2019s located right on the beach!<\/p>\n Take a walk through history in Old Aberdeen. This area of the city makes you feel like you\u2019ve been taken back in time. Check out the University of Aberdeen Campus, St. Machar\u2019s Cathedral, and Seaton Park.<\/p>\n Top tip #1: While in Seaton Park, take a walk through the Walled Garden. My favourite time to visit is March\/April when the flowers are in full bloom!<\/p>\n Top tip #2: Catch a candlelight concert at St Machar\u2019s cathedral. This is a really serene, beautiful way to enjoy your favourite music! I went to a concert where a string quartet performed covers of Ed Sheeran and Coldplay.<\/p>\n Aberdeen beach is one of my favourite places in Aberdeen. If you\u2019re brave, I recommend going for a cold dip and warming up in one of the saunas located along the beach after! <\/p>\n There are many food trucks located along the beach so it\u2019s the perfect place to spend the day. Once you\u2019ve grabbed a bite to eat, head down to Footdee (pronounce Fittie) to check out a really unique and fun neighbourhood. <\/p>\n Why not try something new? Surfing lessons are offered at the beach, and if you\u2019re lucky you might even spot some dolphins while you\u2019re at it!<\/p>\n For a coffee, go to: <\/p>\n For a sweet treat:<\/p>\n To have a meal:<\/p>\n For a fairy-tale like escape from the city, head to Johnston Gardens<\/strong>. Take the number 15 or 11 bus from Union Street to reach this destination. These routes may offer student discounts on passes through First Bus!<\/p>\n Take the X7 (Stonehaven) from Union Street to Stonehaven. Make sure to try some fish and chips and enjoy it by the water. From the town you can take the X7 (Montrose) to Dunnottar Castle. It is free to roam the grounds, however tickets are required to enter the castle itself.<\/p>\n Take the 3A route by FirstBus to Cove Bay. You get off at the Marchmont Street stop and walk 10 minutes to access the coastal path. Bring a picnic and enjoy the beautiful views of the North Sea!<\/p>\n Lorynne Dowling<\/em><\/p>\n A Student\u2019s Guide to Lunch: Top Spots in Aberdeen<\/a><\/p>\n The best places to explore as a student in Aberdeen<\/a><\/p>\n So you\u2019re looking to explore Aberdeenshire?<\/a><\/p>\n The post Top places to explore in Aberdeen<\/a> appeared first on RGU Student Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Physiotherapy student Lorynne shares her top places to explore in Aberdeen as an international student at RGU, from things to do to places to eat!
