Things to do in Aberdeen
Shopping
Union Square is the new shopping and leisure destination in Aberdeen. Built by Hammerson plc at a cost of over £250 million, Union Square combines unique new architecture with the Aberdeen train station façade built in the early 20th century. The result is a development that has regenerated this area of the city while respecting the heritage that the site represents.
Union Square offers over 60 shops and restaurants.
It is also home to Cineworld's ten screen multiplex cinema which seats 2,400 people and will feature four state of the art 3D screens.
Conveniently located beside Aberdeen rail and bus stations, it is only a 5 minute walk from the Antrim Guest House.

Historical Aberdeen
Old Aberdeen is a fine example of preserved ancient dwellings, some dating back to the Middle Ages and atmospheric cobbled streets. The area dates back to the 15th century. The area prospered and grew thanks
mainly to the active merchants in the area. It grew more as
King's College developed. In 1891 an Act of Parliament incorporated Old Aberdeen into adjacent Aberdeen. It still remains part of Aberdeen City.
It boasts a beautiful floral paradise all year round with many rare and exotic plants on show from all around the world.
