Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Edinburgh United Kingdom

As the capital of the medieval kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh is arguably the most stunning city in Northern Europe. It remains the hub of Scotland's autonomous administrative institutions, managing to avoid becoming overly modernized or excessively large. The city is a blend of medieval alleyways surrounding a majestic castle, elegant 18th-century townhouses encircling lush parks, and a thriving cultural scene. The undisputed centerpiece of the city, Edinburgh Castle, can be seen from miles away, peeking around street corners. Within its walls is the 11th-century Queen Margaret's Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh. As you walk towards the palace, you'll pass Gladstone's Land, a medieval dwelling, and Lady Stair's House, a 17th-century townhouse that houses memorabilia of Scotland's literary trinity: Burns, Scott, and Stevenson. The final stretch of the Mile, the city's old quarter, is the Canongate Tolbooth, which houses the People's Story Museum and is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. For a panoramic view of the city, climb Arthur's Seat, a dormant volcano located in Holyrood Park. Calton Hill also offers breathtaking views of Edinburgh. But there's more to Edinburgh than just sightseeing. For a taste of urban life, visit Stockbridge, a charming community filled with students, coffee shops, and great pubs. Every August, the city hosts the Edinburgh International Festival, a three-week celebration of the finest music, theater, opera, and dance. Thousands of culture enthusiasts flock here, and the city goes above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction.
