Ok, so we might be biased, but we reckon it’s one of the most perfect cities in the world. Now you’ve probably heard of A Tale of Two Cities, but here, in Edinburgh, it’s more A Tale of Two Towns. The medieval Old Town contrasts sharply with the Georgian splendour of the New Town, making for a stunning experience - it’s no surprise it was declared a World Heritage Site. But that’s not the only way the city can be split into the old and the new. Edinburgh might be steeped in history, but it definitely doesn’t live in the past. Modern and cosmopolitan, it’s got plenty to offer. If you’re willing to delve a little deeper below the surface, you’ll find a city that’s alive with culture and excitement. Of course, no stopover in Scotland’s capital is complete without a trip to the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, which dominates the city skyline, or a wander down the famous Royal Mile, but just remember, there’s plenty more to discover besides. The compact nature of the city means you can explore at your own pace - getting around on foot is fairly easy, and it gives you time to soak up the real Edinburgh. While it might not be the biggest of cities, we’ve certainly packed a lot in. Don’t forget to explore beyond the city limits for the perfect day out! To the south you’ll find much to interest you in the historic villages, and along the scenic coast. And to the Many of the immediate west of the city, Queensferry is a delightfully advertisers in this guide are unspoilt conservation town in a spectacular setting beneath members of the magnificent bridges that span the river Forth.
