4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Arthur's Seat and The Marshmallow Lady. Visit Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse for their historical value. And it doesn't end there: get a new perspective on nature at National Museum of Scotland, don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, examine the collection at Royal Yacht Britannia, and stop by Doodles.
