Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and is fast becoming one of the world's top city break destinations (see Edinburgh City Breaks for more on that). It is a World Heritage site and enjoys the combination of rich history, fabulous position and street after street of excellent architecture. Our guide is intended to help you choose your walks and activities during your stay...
Edinburgh is a serene city not really trying to be in your face with all its history though there is a considerable amount of that to be overwhelmed. From the Royal Mile to Princes Street and the rest of the city centre Edinburgh is free of the big city bustle. The New Town with its solemn architecture and the Old Town with its great parks gives a delightful contrast to the city.
Edinburgh is one of the top places to be if you want culture, good food and of course a good drink. Over the years the shopping has improved with new shops opening all the time especially clothes shops like Cruise and Harvey Nichols see shopping.
