4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Escape the urban bustle at Arthur's Seat and Portobello Beach. Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse will appeal to history buffs. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: Seacliff Beach (in North Berwick) and Ardtoe Beach (in Acharacle). There's still lots to do: get a new perspective on nature at National Museum of Scotland, don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close, and wander the streets of Edinburgh Old Town.
