Edinburgh Bed and Breakfast, Cheap Hotel and Guest House Accommodation
Scotland’s capital is the city of Edinburgh, beautifully combining ancient historic sites in its medieval Old Town with the poised elegance of the streets of the Georgian New Town and cutting edge contemporary architecture harmoniously integrated within its dramatic, moody setting. Exploration on foot of the varied tourist attractions, the imposing Edinburgh Castle on its granite rock at their hub, will give you the best insight into the culture and history of this picturesque place, while the great shops, cafés and restaurants that line the streets simply add to its delights.
A city of contrasts, Edinburgh’s architectural heritage contains gothic churches and medieval palaces, but its grandeur is never seen to stifle the exuberant street life which comes into its own during the many festivals whose events usually spill out onto squares and pavements, tempting you to stop, look and enjoy.
Hogmanay - see in the New Year with a bang, in exuberant Scottish style – in high summer the military pomp continues with the Tattoo, and the streets are alive with buskers and craft stalls for the International and the Fringe, to name but a few of the events.
The importance of the Old and New Towns were recognized when the areas were listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. From the mysterious winding cobbled streets, to the sculptural gymnastics of the Scottish Parliament, the sense of history is almost tangible wherever you look.
Also a literary capital, there are many tours that will take you on a journey around the literary landmarks of the city, retracing the steps of Robert Burns or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
