Together the two universities bring over 30,000 students to the city.
Aberdeen is known as the Granite City for its distinctive silver-grey stone buildings, and the city centre is compact and walkable. Union Street is the main commercial thoroughfare, lined with shops, cafés and restaurants, while the Aberdeen Art Gallery — recently refurbished — and the Tolbooth Museum are free to visit. Seaton Park, adjacent to the University of Aberdeen campus, is popular with students for walks along the River Don.
