World Heritage-listed Edinburgh combines ancient and modern in a uniquely Scottish atmosphere.
Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Room Escape Games and Food Tours. There's much more to do: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, make a trip to The Royal Mile, get to know the fascinating history of Edinburgh Old Town, and contemplate the long history of Real Mary King's Close.
