Inverness is situated along the banks of the river Ness which has been described as one of the most beautiful riverside settings in Britain. Enjoy the fine circular walk from the castle along the river and through the Ness islands where, during peak season from July to October you can watch anglers casting long lines to leaping Atlantic salmon. Inverness is the gateway to the highlands of Scotland and the surrounding area, including the famous Loch Ness and Nessie, its fabled monster.

Inverness serviced apartments are usually situated in the heart of the city. The centre of Inverness is small and compact making it easy to walk around. The Old Town Rose Street Car Park is situated in the centre of Inverness within walking distance of the Inverness Bus station, Railway Station, city centre and shopping malls. The new extension to the Eastgate Centre, with its many High Street names, reflects the city's important commercial role, while the refurbished Victorian Arcade nearby, with its smaller businesses, is a reminder of the continuity as well as the variety of Inverness shopping.

Inverness also has an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and late-night venues, as well as Scottish Showtime, traditional music and dance performed in costume, said to be Scotland's longest running show. Another important cultural centre is the Eden Court Theatre and Cinema, with an entertainment programme to suit all tastes, though this is just one venue for a very varied events programme which also includes the music and martial spectacle of the Inverness Tattoo.
