When you mention Edinburgh, it can’t be denied that it only means one thing – Scotland. It is where the popular historical artifacts can be found. Such would include the gravestones, Elephant’s Room café, tales about the infamous Burke & Hare, and the tavern of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is the second most visited city in the United Kingdom after London. This honor is due to the charm of its streets and buildings, many of them in medieval style, which give the city a special magic. The medieval part or old city is one of the two large areas in which the Scottish capital is divided, the other being much more recent construction, a fact that is clearly seen when visiting both areas. In the old city, the impressive Edinburgh Castle is the main attraction where the visitor will be fascinated by its construction, made with volcanic stone taken from the same hill on which the fortification sits. To enjoy great views, climbing Calton Hill is another must-see activity when visiting the city. Edinburgh is also famous for its International Festival that takes place in summer and hosts a multitude of live artistic performances, making the city full of public. If we add to this a wide range of museums, many of them free, the capital of Scotland is well worth exploring to discover all its secrets. Click the next ARROW to see the next photo!
