Edinburgh. From the moment you arrive, Edinburgh's stunning skyline and magnificent architecture are captivating. The castle clings dramatically to its rock as the ancient buildings of the Royal Mile tumble down the spine of the hill to the splendid Palace of Holyroodhouse. Across the green expanse of Princes Street Gardens lies the graceful Georgian New Town waiting to be explored. This is an historic setting - and yet in Edinburgh you'll find a friendly, modern, cosmopolitan city, where a warm welcome and an unforgettable experience await all the year round.
The City of Surpises
With so many of its attractions piled into the city center, Edinburgh is a joy to explore on foot. Elegant architecture is complemented by beautiful parks and gardens; street entertainers - from pipers to pavement artists - bring vibrant color and music to everyday life.
Great Art Collections from Scotland and Europe
Edinburgh is home to no less than three national art collections. On The Mound, the National Gallery boasts outstanding exhibitions of Scottish and European works as well as masterpieces from every era. In the Scottish National Portrait Gallery hang images of the nation's heroes and heroines, from ancient kings to modern writers, while the Gallery of Modern Art includes a superb surrealist collection and a sculpture garden devoted to Edinburgh's Eduardo Paolozzi.
