As well as the transformative nature of the V&A, the National Geographic Traveller also mentioned Dundee’s thriving Waterfront area, with its brand new train station, restaurants and bars (most of which can be found in our eat and drink section) as a central reason behind the city’s increasing coolness.
In response to the fantastic news, VisitScotland regional director Caroline Warburton said:
2018 was the year that the world learnt what we have always known – Dundee is a must-visit destination – representing the very best of contemporary Scotland. Buoyed by this excellent news we look forward to continuing to work closely with industry to capitalise on the global interest in the city, encouraging visitors to stay longer and discover Dundee’s world-class tourism offering.
National Geographic Traveller
For those few who don’t who National Geographic Traveller are, the world-leading magazine is extremely popular, with a readership of 150,000 and circulation of 58,242.
As you can tell from the publication’s huge Instagram following, it’s a pretty reliable and respected source.

Basically, we are really cool.
