4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Palace of Holyroodhouse and Calton Hill. Visit Edinburgh Castle and The Real Mary King's Close for their historical value. And it doesn't end there: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Arthur's Seat, get curious at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, tour the pleasant surroundings at Holyrood Park, and pause for some serene contemplation at St Giles' Cathedral.
