What to do in Edinburgh
Visit Edinburgh as part of a multi-stop vacation around Scotland. This enchanting capital city will capture your heart from the moment you arrive. Wander from New Town to Old Town, along the Royal Mile, and stop for a drink at one of the city’s age-old pubs. There is something magical and cinematic about Edinburgh: 1,000-year-old gothic spires rise from cobble-stoned streets, and a vast dormant volcano named Arthur’s Seat towers ominously above the city. You’ll soon succumb to Edinburgh’s intoxicating charm. A Tourlane travel expert will help you plan your perfect trip, covering your flights, transfers, guides, and accommodation.
