World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.
Edinburgh is known for historic sites, museums, nightlife, sightseeing, and nature. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: take in the dramatic natural features at Arthur's Seat, learn more about the world around you at National Museum of Scotland, get great views at Calton Hill, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at St Giles' Cathedral.

To see reviews, photos, where to stay, and tourist information, read our Edinburgh trip itinerary planner.
