Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and it is located in central eastern Scotland, near the Firth of Forth, close to the North Sea. Thanks to its spectacular rocks, rustic buildings and a huge collection of ancient and classic architecture, including numerous stone decorations, it is renowned world-wide as one of the most lively cities in Europe.

Edinburgh is not only one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, it is a city with a fantastic position. The view falls on all sides – green hills, the hint of the blue sea, the silhouettes of the buildings and the red cliffs. It is a hilly city that calls you to explore it by foot – narrow streets, passageways, stairs and hidden church yards on every step will pull you away from the main streets.

The city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK. It is the capital of Scotland and home to many tourist attractions. A visit here will be well worth it, considering the numerous things you can do and see. Most of the structures in the Old Town have remained in their original form over the years. Especially, going down the Royal Mile to three-hundred-year-old Holyrood House - the Queen’s home when she came to Edinburgh.

You can look at the shops on the Royal Mile or on Princess Street in the New Town. Some shops sell the famous Scottish tartans and you can see the name of the family, which goes with each tartan.  Near Princess Street is Charlotte Square, which is very beautiful. There is the National Gallery of Scotland, with pictures from Scotland and from many other countries too.

In August, you can visit the Edinburgh Festival, the biggest arts festival in the world with hundreds of different things to do and see.
