4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Visit Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Old Town for their historical value. Get a sense of the local culture at Royal Yacht Britannia and Palace of Holyroodhouse. There's much more to do: get a new perspective on nature at National Museum of Scotland, steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St Giles' Cathedral, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
