Flights to Edinburgh

Edinburgh is the second most populated city in Scotland, and became the capital in 1437. It has witnessed a several battles with its English neighbours over the centuries but nowadays tourists come from every part of the world to see the hilltop castle, atmospheric old town, churches, palaces and picturesque coastline. If all that wasn't enough to see in one place, there are art festivals which bring thousands of visitors to the city as well. There is also Hogmanay, the Royal Tattoo, Fringe and St Andrew's Day to experience. With so much to do, there's barely time to enjoy the wide selection of great shops, fine restaurants and traditional pubs.

The city is quite compact, and it is possible to walk to most attractions such as the Royal Mile, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Scottish Parliament building and the Scottish Museum. There are city walking tours where you can learn some of the lesser-known facts about the area, and bus tours for those who like to be driven around. Whisky has been made in Scotland for longer than anyone can remember, so a tour of a distillery with a whisky tasting session is another unique experience that shouldn't be missed. Book now to avoid disappointment.

Things to do in Edinburgh

This city is crammed with attractions for all ages, and nothing is difficult to get to. History lovers should head straight for the castle and then onto the old town, and anyone who appreciates architecture will not want to miss the Scottish Parliament building or the Botanical greenhouses either. Families can enjoy the zoo and the museums, and for landscapes and views go to the coastline or climb the hill called Arthur's Seat.

These sights are definitely worth a visit:
