Edinburgh is the capital
of Scotland and it is located in central eastern Scotland, near the Firth of
Forth, close to the North Sea. Thanks to its spectacular rocks, rustic
buildings and a huge collection of medieval and classic architecture, including
numerous stone decorations, it is often considered one of the most lively
cities in Europe. Scottish people called it Auld Reekie, Edina, Athens of the
North and Britain’s Other Eye.
Edinburgh is not only
one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, it is a city with a fantastic
position. The view falls on all sides – green hills, the hint of the blue sea,
the silhouettes of the buildings and the red cliffs. It is a city that calls
you to explore it by foot – narrow streets, passageways, stairs and hidden
church yards on every step will pull you away from the main streets.
The city is one of the
most popular tourist destinations in the UK. It is the capital of Scotland and
home to many tourist attractions. A visit here will be well worth it,
considering the numerous things you can do and see. Most of the structures in
the Old Town have remained in their original form over the years. Charming
medieval relics are plenty in this section of the city. In contrast, orderly
Georgian terraces line the streets of the New Town. The general urban scenery
is a blend of ancient structures and modern architecture, which gives the city
a unique character. In 1995, the Old Town was listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site.
With year round festivals, a throbbing nightlife and an entertaining arts scene,
Edinburgh never falls short of interesting travel ventures for tourists.

One of the most
appealing things about Edinburgh is that almost everything is within walking

important national galleries are situated within a short stroll of the city
