"Edinburgh" Edinburgh by TomorrowsAngel

Edinburgh Travel Guide: 3,354 reviews and 6,585 photos

Edinburgh is a thriving political, financial, cultural and commercial centre. Its historical legacy makes it a natural centre of interest for the visitor, and an ideal point from which to begin a holiday in Scotland.
There is something for everyone in this city. There is so much to choose to do - one can just look at the sheer beauty of the architecture, or go for bracing walks in the royal park of Arthur's Seat. The wide and never-ending diversity of its cultural activities never fails to impress.
Me and my sister spent 2 weeks there in November/December 2002 and it really left a good impression on us. Interestingly Dunedin in NZ was planned with the same layout as Edinburgh, so even before we got there we knew all the street names and city layout!!

The city has a wide range of pubs, cafes, bistros, clubs. Cinemas cater for all tastes, theatres present everything from the block-busters down to the most intimate avant-garde. If you really want to experience something unusual, try one of the haunted tours of the Old Town - said to be the most haunted city in the UK! And because Edinburgh is such a compact city, everything is within walking distance.

    Looks like you have been more lucky than I've been with the weather... Btw if you like chocolate so much, you should pay us a visit in Belgium ;-)
