5 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Rosslyn Chapel and The Kelpies & The Helix. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like The Royal Mile and Royal Yacht Britannia. Step out of Edinburgh to go to Stirling and see The National Wallace Monument, which is approximately 1h 25 min away. There's much more to do: explore the striking landscape at Arthur's Seat, engage your brain at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, explore the historical opulence of Palace of Holyroodhouse, and stroll through Calton Hill.
