Draped across its seven rolling peaks, Scotland’s capital city holds countless places ripe for exploring across the whole spectrum of interests. Within the UK, Edinburgh is beaten only by London in terms of annual tourist popularity. This is in no small part due to its celebrated yearly events, such as the Hogmanay Street Party and the legendary Edinburgh Festival, but the city remains active and vibrant outside of these times. From the magnificent castle sitting atop the many interlocking layers of the old town, to the reinvigorated and culturally progressive new town, Edinburgh is one of the most exciting cities in the world to visit.
