2 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.

On the 3rd (Wed), explore the galleries of Royal Yacht Britannia, examine the collection at National Museum of Scotland, and then take in the dramatic natural features at Arthur's Seat. Keep things going the next day: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, and then contemplate the long history of Georgian House.
