City Trippers
Edinburgh
Why?Toexperience the perfect blend of Scottish history, cuisine and hospitality that
makes this enchanting city one of the UK's most enjoyed locations.
When?If you
don't mind the sometimes-inclement weather then Edinburgh has something for
everyone year round. The world famous Edinburgh
Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival are hugely popular but if you don't want to go avoid August, when
everything gets booked up.
Where to visit?Tough
one because Scotland's historical city has everything from castles and dungeons
to family attractions and nightclubs.
Be sure
to visit the iconic Edinburgh Castle,
packed with interest. If you're looking for a scare then the Edinburgh Dungeons will provide plenty
of gruesome fun.
If
frights aren't your thing, the Dynamic Earth
should be top of your list. It houses a science museum, which incorporates
natural history and goes a long way towards making geology accessible for
visitors of all ages.
The Camera Obscura and the World
of Illusion attractions are brilliant fun and well worth a visit and you
can't leave this great city without going on one of the famous night-time
walks, filled with atmosphere and fascinating facts.
Where to stay?Hotels
to match every budget mean you are spoilt for choice when it comes to
accommodation. The Balmoral Hotel
offers luxury on Princes Street, the
perfect location but if you're watching the pennies Edinburgh also has hostels
and less expensive rooms. One place we'd suggest trying is the Ramada Mount Royal.
Where to eat?Edinburgh
has no less than 5 Michelin Star
restaurants as well as eateries to suit every budget.
Stand-out
places are the 21212 restaurant and Number One at the Balmoral if you want
fine dining. If you're looking for a more modest spend without a compromise on
quality and love seafood then look no further than The Ship on The Shore for a meal you're likely to remember!
Getting around townThe
main airport is less than 30 minutes from the city centre by car or taxi and
there's plenty of public transport should you choose to use of buses or trains.
Once
you get to the city itself pretty much everything is accessible by foot,
especially if you decide to stay on or close to Princes Street.
