Edinburgh

Travellers' Choice® 2017 Winner
Edinburgh
(Photo provided by: VisitScotland Tourism Organisation)
While dramatic windswept hills make Edinburgh a sight to behold, its rich history makes it a city to remember. From the world-famous Edinburgh Castle, to St. Giles Cathedral, to Real Mary King's Close and the Museum of Scotland, the sights are plentiful. Visit Edinburgh during Hogmanay (a days-long Scottish new year celebration full of food, drink and local traditions) and you'll be one of 80,000 revellers in the city! And yes, you must try the traditional fruitcake.
