Edinburgh Travel Guide
Edinburgh Castle
The most famous sight in Edinburgh and far beyond the city limits is Edinburgh Castle. The hilltop castle in the middle of the city dates back at least to the 11th century – one can only speculate about the exact date of its origin.
Scottish Highlands
Attention nature lovers! Now comes your highlight: the Scottish Highlands. They are a must on a trip to Scotland and are therefore also one of the top Edinburgh sights, because you can book tours from the Scottish capital or make your own way to the wonderful landscape by train.
Holyrood Palace
The Queen of Great Britain also has a home in the Scottish city, namely in Holyrood Palace, also known as the Palace of Holyrood House.
Mary Kings Close
The Real Mary Kings Close is made up of contiguous historic streets on the Royal Mile in the Old Town. Numerous exciting myths and stories circulate around the area.
Edinburgh University
We already know from Harry Potter that educational places in Great Britain can be hidden in very impressive buildings. The Scottish universities are also known for this. The University of Edinburgh is spread all over the city, but you can find some particularly impressive buildings right in the center.
