Delve into the deep history of Scotland’s capital and uncover secret tales and mystery at fantastic attractions such as The Real Mary King’s Close before wandering the ancient streets of the Old Town or climbing Edinburgh's very own volcano - Arthur's Seat.

Sit in a café on the Royal Mile beneath Edinburgh Castle or spend your time discovering Scotland’s rich royal past - you’ll find not only the Queen’s official Scottish residence, the Palace of Holyroodhouse but the Royal Yacht Britannia and the beautiful Princes Street Gardens.

Indulge in designer labels on George Street or head to Multrees Walk for some luxury items at Scotland's only Harvey Nichols department store. Princes Street is a high street shopper’s paradise and you’ll find some great vintage finds in the city’s boutiques.

Spending your evenings seeing world-class musicals, ballets, opera, comedy and concerts before indulging in fine dining in one of the city’s Michelin starred restaurants or checking out the city’s vibrant nightlife.

The city offers a huge choice of accommodation ranging  from 5-star hotels to welcoming bed and breakfasts (B&Bs) and self-catering apartments to quirky hostels, so whatever your budget you’ll find the perfect place to stay in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
