About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland’s compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials. Edinburgh is not only one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, it is a city with a fantastic position. The view falls on all sides – green hills, the hint of the blue sea, the silhouettes of the buildings and the red cliffs. It is a city that calls you to explore it by foot – narrow streets, passageways, stairs and hidden church yards on every step will pull you away from the main streets.
Itinerary Highlights / Edinburgh
Begin this city tour along Princes Street and past the Scott Monument, dedicated to writer Sir Walter Scott. Visit Grassmarket and its array of independent shops, traditional Scottish pubs and restaurants. Tour around Edinburgh’s central university area and spot some of the magical places that inspired the Harry Potter books. Travel along Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile visiting Holyrood Palace and the famous Edinburgh Castle. Stop and tour the Royal Yacht Britannia, permanently moored in the city.
