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 Scott Monument. Get out of town with these interesting Edinburgh side-trips: National Wallace Monument (in Stirling) and The Kelpies & The Helix (in Falkirk). And it doesn't end there: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, take a stroll through Edinburgh Old Town, make a trip to Palace of Holyroodhouse, and steep yourself in history at The Real Mary King's Close.
