Athens of the North

World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.
Discover out-of-the-way places like Room Escape Games and Rosslyn Chapel. Explore Edinburgh's surroundings by going to Falkirk (The Kelpies & The Helix & The Kelpies). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Scottish National Portrait Gallery, gain some tasty knowledge on a distillery tour, pause for some photo ops at Scott Monument, and engage your brain at Dynamic Earth.

For traveler tips, reviews, maps, and tourist information, use the Edinburgh trip itinerary planning site .

Expect a daytime high around 9°C in December, and nighttime lows around 2°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 1st (Mon) so you can travel back home.
