7 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 Edinburgh Old Town and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. Explore Edinburgh's surroundings by going to Stirling Castle (in Stirling), Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (in Glasgow) and Falkirk Wheel (in Falkirk). There's much more to do: explore the historical opulence of Edinburgh Castle, take in the dramatic natural features at Arthur's Seat, admire the natural beauty at Princes Street Gardens, and examine the collection at National Museum of Scotland.
