5 reasons to visit Oban in off-peak season 🧐

👥 Fewer crowds
Our charming coastal town is a popular tourist hotspot however during the off-peak season you can enjoy the attractions at your own pace, take leisurely walks along the seafront, and appreciate the stunning scenery without the hustle and bustle.

🦀 Same delicious food
The quality of food here in Oban always remains at its best. Whether you're craving fresh seafood, traditional Scottish dishes, or international cuisine, you'll find plenty of delicious options to satisfy your taste buds.

🦦 Winter wildlife
While most of Europe's wildlife hibernates, Oban becomes a hub of activity thanks to the Gulf Stream. Otters breed, hares turn white, and wildlife thrives. Winter's a great time for spotting Scotland's native species.

🌌 Delightfully dark skies
With the sun setting as early as 4 pm during Scotland's peak winter months, there's no better time to be outside stargazing, thanks to Oban's low population density! It's also the perfect time to set up camp at Ganavan Sands and search for the Aurora Borealis!

❄️ Oban Winter Festival
Get ready for a magical winter wonderland! From the 15th to 24th of November, our town will be transformed with festive activities, films, and dazzling light shows. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
