Undoubtedly the main reason why tourists from all over the world come to visit this area is because of the mystery surrounding its great lake. It is believed that in its waters lives a giant sea creature that is thought to have first appeared in the 16th century, and which today remains the subject of great interest to both the scientific community and the general public. You can get here in many ways, but the most popular and efficient way is to take a train from Edinburgh or Glasgow to Inverness, a journey of around 3.5 hours. Once in Inverness, there are many buses that can take you to different areas of the loch, making it easily accessible.

Besides the iconic lake once you get here you will notice that there is a lot of nature in the area including large mountains and lush pine forests. To get to these natural sites, being a tourist area, you are likely to find a variety of tours that can take you around and show you the highlights of each place. Although you can also do these tours by road, bicycle and many even do them on horseback. And don't miss out on the small villages nearby, which are also of tourist interest for their picturesque appearance and magical aura.

To begin your visit to the stunning natural surroundings of this region you can go first to the Falls of Foyer. This impressive 165-foot high waterfall is what feeds Loch Ness. Here you will begin your journey through lush forests, immense rocks and a variety of plants, which will then give way to the impressive body of water that resides here. From here you can follow other trails that are perfect for hiking and walking around the area, and you can even reach the loch's shore if you dare to cross the rocky, uneven path.

Historic sites don't go unnoticed here either, and wherever you go in Scotland, there's a magical castle to explore. Urquhart Castle is one of them, although it is in ruins, this fabulous building dating back to the 12th century is still preserved, and it is because it was first made of wood and in the 14th century it was rebuilt in stone. It has been used several times in film and TV productions, such as the Outlander series, so it's a popular place for tourists, and once you see it up close you'll understand why.

No matter when you read this, it's always a good idea to visit this magical lake. Its vast, deep waters of approximately 21.5 miles, plus the beautiful mountain scenery it is framed by, will make you feel like you're in another world. You can take one of the numerous boat tours and listen to the fascinating stories and legends about the creature that supposedly lives at the bottom of the lake.

This pretty little village is a must when travelling to this region of Scotland. It's pretty, picturesque streets will make you feel like you're in a fairy tale, and it's surrounded by beautiful meadows where lovely cows and sheep graze all day. You can spend the day visiting all the tourist attractions such as squares, cafés and restaurants, as well as taking pictures of the stunning countryside.

If you want to learn even more about this fascinating lake, this place is perfect, as its exhibits will teach you through pictures and videos everything you need to know. In addition to this, you can find out about the various past and ongoing expeditions into Nessie, the famous Loch Ness Monster, including one of the most famous in 1987 called Operation Deepscan, which includes sound readings from the depths of the Loch's waters.

This route is ideal for those who love hiking. With a length of approximately 80 miles starting and finishing in the pretty town of Inverness, here you can get a fairly complete tour of Loch Ness. And one of the advantages of this route is that it can be done in many ways, either on foot, by bicycle and, if you are more adventurous, also on horseback.

This canal has been used for transport since 1849 and is part of a large system of water bodies of approximately 60 miles, including Loch Linnhe, Loch Lochy, Oich and the longest, Loch Ness. Now used as a tourist attraction, you can navigate its waters on the canoe and boat trips that are available to visitors.
