8 days in Edinburgh Itinerary

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

Step out of Edinburgh to go to Glasgow and see Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which is approximately 1h 45 min away. There's much more to do: step aboard Royal Yacht Britannia, learn more about the world around you at National Museum of Scotland, engage your brain at Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, and make a trip to Palace of Holyroodhouse.
