Fife, located between the Firth of Forth on the south border, the Firth of Tay on the north border, and the North Sea on the east of the country, is the third largest area in Scotland, with a population of just over three hundred and sixty-seven people.
There’s so much to see and do in Fife that when planning a trip, it can be hard to know where to start, so with this in mind, here’s how to make the most of your vacation in Fife.
Definitely the best way to discover all the hidden treasures that Fife has to offer is to spend the day driving along the coast, with the best place to start being West Fife, in or around the small yet perfectly formed village of Culross.
To make sure you maximize your coastal trip, the best way to see the standout scenery and breathtaking landscapes in the area is to travel from Culross to West Fife, to Aberdour, the East Neuk villages, before ending up in the more urban St Andrews.
When choosing the right place to stay in Fife, make sure that luxury holiday cottages in Fife are high on the list of your priorities, as combining the relaxing and tranquil Scottish countryside with a just-as-beautiful open fireplace and cottage vibe in the evening will make your vacation a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Once you know where you are staying and have planned a comprehensive route to make sure you do not miss anything, you then need to plan your route to get to Fife to start your experience.
Now, there is a famous coastal path called, as you may have guessed, the Fife Coastal Path, however, unless you’re only staying a couple of towns or villages down, walking to your vacation destination may not be the most productive use of your time.
Public transport is, as ever, a viable option and wonderfully, if you simply don’t have access to a car, then it is entirely possible and thoroughly enjoyable to travel across the entirety of the Fife coast, stopping along the way whenever you fancy.
If you need to get to Fife itself from anywhere else in the United Kingdom, your best bet is definitely by car, and if you are coming from another Scottish city, then you could even consider hiring a car from a reputable rental company in Glasgow or Edinburgh.
