Edinburgh
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Edinburgh spans centuries of history in a spectacular setting. From the spiritual atmosphere of the cobbled streets in the Old Town to the elegant Georgian avenues in the New Town, Edinburgh is a city of contrasts. Amongst the city’s most striking sites, make sure you visit the famous castle, a not-to-miss site, as well as the city’s many gardens. Take a stroll down the Royal Mile, the city’s historic main street: it will lead you to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen of England’s official residence when she travels to Scotland.
