36 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

There's lots more to do: explore the striking landscape at Arthur's Seat, don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, step into the grandiose world of Palace of Holyroodhouse, and engage your brain at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions.
