If you thought St Andrews was just about golf, think again! Yes, there are 11 great courses hereabouts, but in fact, the vast majority of our visitors don’t play golf. They come here to enjoy the historic buildings, the spectacular beaches, the fascinating museums, and a vibrant arts and cultural scene.

Start browsing below – but be warned, with so many great ideas to choose from you might end up staying on this website longer than you expect!
