3 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Popular historic sites such as Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Old Town are in your itinerary. Get some cultural insight at Royal Yacht Britannia and Palace of Holyroodhouse. There's still lots to do: learn more about the world around you at National Museum of Scotland, stroll through Portobello Beach, contemplate the long history of Georgian House, and don't miss a visit to The Real Mary King's Close.
