Edinburgh
A city where centuries of history live alongside cutting-edge culture. Edinburgh is a place that reveals itself slowly, rewarding those who wander its ancient streets.
A City of Two Tales
Edinburgh is split between the medieval Old Town, with its jumbled tenements and underground closes, and the neoclassical New Town, whose grand Georgian architecture earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. The Royal Mile connects Edinburgh Castle — perched on an extinct volcano — to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen's official Scottish residence.
Festival City
Every August, Edinburgh becomes the cultural capital of the world. The Edinburgh International Festival, the Fringe Festival, the Book Festival, and dozens more transform the city into a stage. But Edinburgh's creative energy runs year-round — from its thriving music scene to its world-class galleries and museums.
Hidden Edinburgh
Beyond the well-trodden Royal Mile lies a city of secrets. Descend into Mary King's Close to see streets sealed beneath the city since the 17th century. Climb Arthur's Seat for panoramic views. Discover the Bohemian charm of Stockbridge, the independent shops of Dean Village, and the dramatic architecture of the Scottish Parliament.
