Edinburgh

With a deep-rooted artistic reputation, stunning vistas and magnificent architecture, Edinburgh stands out as one of the world’s greatest cities. It is little wonder that the city’s Old and New Towns were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. The centre of Edinburgh represents a remarkable blend of two urban phenomena - organic medieval and neo-classical town planning. This elegant city, Scotland’s historic capital, boasts the medieval ‘old town’, Scottish parliament, the Royal Mile, beautiful Georgian streets, stunning panoramic views and Edinburgh Castle, Scotland’s number one visitor attraction and an absolute must-see.
