Destination Guide

The Athens of the North

Edinburgh is one of the most dramatically beautiful cities in Europe — the Castle on its volcanic rock, the Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat, and the Georgian New Town form a cityscape that's genuinely unlike anywhere else. The Edinburgh Festival in August is the world's largest arts festival, and the city's whisky bars and independent bookshops are destinations in their own right.

Best time to visit

May–September for the best weather; August for the Festival.

Travel tip

The city centre is very walkable; the Lothian Buses network covers the whole city, and Edinburgh Waverley station has fast trains to London (4.5 hours) and Glasgow (50 minutes).
