Scotland's capital, otherwise known as the 'Athens of the North' or 'Auld Reekie', is also its cultural core, steeped in history. With Edinburgh's Old and New Towns collectively listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it goes without saying that there's plenty to explore.
Catch some breathtaking views from Arthur's Seat, hike up to Calton Hill for its monuments and memorials, enjoy a peaceful walk along the Water of Leith; pay a visit to the numerous museums if that's where your interest lies, or watch the city come to life at night with its folk music and endless festivals!
