5 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Step out of the city life by going to Arthur's Seat and Calton Hill. Step off the beaten path and head to Rosslyn Chapel and Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: The Kelpies & The Helix (in Falkirk) and National Wallace Monument (in Stirling). And it doesn't end there: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, take in panoramic vistas at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, make a trip to The Royal Mile, and get to know the fascinating history of Edinburgh Old Town.
