Edinburgh is known for historic sites, museums, nature, nightlife, and childrens museums. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: step into the grandiose world of Edinburgh Castle, learn more about the world around you at National Museum of Scotland, see the interesting displays at Royal Yacht Britannia, and wander the streets of Edinburgh Old Town.

For ratings, maps, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Edinburgh vacation planner .
