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 Holyrood Park. When in Edinburgh, make a side trip to see National Wallace Monument in Stirling, approximately Stirling away. There's much more to do: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, wander the streets of Edinburgh Old Town, don't miss a visit to The Royal Mile, and contemplate the long history of The Real Mary King's Close.

For where to stay, more things to do, and other tourist information, refer to the Edinburgh driving holiday planner.
