4 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

You'll explore and learn at Royal Yacht Britannia and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse will appeal to history buffs. There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close, wander the streets of Edinburgh Old Town, and sample the fine beverages at The Scotch Whisky Experience.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 19°C, and evening lows to 9°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 18th (Mon) to allow time to travel back home.
