Edinburgh Old Town
The true historic heart and soul of the Scottish capital!
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an atmospheric labyrinth of narrow, winding streets, historic buildings, and atmospheric alleyways known as ‘closes.’ It’s a place where history quite literally oozes from the stone. Wander down the Royal Mile, which we’ve already covered, but then dive into the smaller streets around it to discover hidden pubs, quirky shops, and the chilling histories of the area. It’s the perfect place to get delightfully lost!
When you’re tired of walking the ancient cobbles, finding a great value pub for a hearty meal is easy before you settle down for the night at your comfy, nearby Travelodge. It’s an unforgettable area that makes Edinburgh one of the UK’s best city breaks.
