Capital of the Highlands, Inverness is an excellent touring base with good road, rail and air connections. If you stay in the city you can do lots of Day Trips, Coach Tours & Boat Cruises.
With its suspension bridges across the River Ness and old stone buildings, it is a pretty place which is well-known for its floral displays (frequently a winner of awards in the Bloom of Britain competitions). In December 2000, it was one of only 3 towns to be awarded city status by the Queen.
The Tourist Information Office is located on Bridge Street up some steps overlooking the road (ramp for disabled access). This includes a bureau de change, booking office for Caledonian MacBrayne ferries, gift shop, and accommodation booking service. Plus Internet access on 2 PC terminals.
