Typical Itinerary Details

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh’s Old Town is a captivating labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets and historic buildings. Steeped in mediaeval charm, visitors are transported back in time as they explore landmarks like the imposing Edinburgh Castle and the atmospheric St. Giles’ Cathedral. The bustling Grassmarket square offers a vibrant mix of traditional pubs, eclectic shops, and street performers, creating an enchanting atmosphere that embodies the city’s rich history.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Situated at the end of the Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace stands as a symbol of royal grandeur against the backdrop of the rugged Arthur’s Seat. This official residence of the monarch in Scotland invites visitors to stroll through opulent state apartments, admire the beautiful Holyrood Abbey ruins, and explore the stunning gardens.

Calton Hill

Providing panoramic views of Edinburgh’s skyline, Calton Hill is a picturesque vantage point showcasing the city’s blend of architectural splendour. Crowned by the iconic National Monument and Nelson’s Monument, this elevated perch offers a serene escape from the bustle below. Visitors can savour breathtaking sunsets, admire the Athens-inspired Acropolis, and appreciate the significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of Scotland’s capital.

New Town

A testament to Georgian elegance and urban planning, New Town Edinburgh presents a striking contrast to the mediaeval charm of the Old Town. Laid out in the late 18th century, its wide streets and neoclassical architecture exude sophistication. New Town offers a delightful blend of history and modernity.

Cobblestone streets wind through this picturesque neighbourhood, flanked by charming stone cottages and the soothing sounds of the river. With its historic flour mills and quaint architecture, Dean Village is a peaceful retreat just a short stroll from the city centre, offering a glimpse into Edinburgh’s industrial past.

Leith

Once Edinburgh’s bustling port, Leith has evolved into a dynamic district with a maritime heritage and a thriving cultural scene. The historic docks now house trendy bars, restaurants, and galleries, making it a hub for food enthusiasts and art lovers.

Duddingston Kirk

Duddingston Kirk is a charming parish church with a history dating back to the 12th century. Surrounded by lush greenery, this tranquil setting is enhanced by the quaint village that shares its name. The church’s timeless architecture and serene ambiance make it a peaceful retreat, inviting visitors to explore the historic churchyard and enjoy the idyllic surroundings.
