Edinburgh Travel Guide You Need At Every Step

The train station, port, city attractions and streets of Edinburgh have all inspired different novels. The city that’s steeped in literature (UNESCO world’s only city of literature), culture (more than 12 major festivals take place here) and architectural brilliance (most streets are filled with landmarks) ….Edinburgh is one of the most visited cities in the world. Edinburgh also allows access to almost all the beautiful scenic vistas of Scotland via its scenic train journey routes.

Enjoy the atmospheric old town with its quaint bars, antique bookshops and Scotch treasure houses or inhale the sophisticated flavours of Princes Street in New town. Allow the Edinburgh castle and the Royal Mile and Holyroodhouse to envelope you in their regal air. Relax in any one of its gorgeous parks.

There is something magical about Edinburgh and even if it hadn’t inspired the harry potters set you would have immediately felt its conjuring abilities the minute you lay your eyes on the Grey Fairs Church on Candlemakers row, or looked at the sprawling wondrous city from the Calston Hill, or for that matter in any of its umpteen bookshops or bars with Goth- fairy-tale themes.

From shopping for Scottish check fabrics to haute couture, Edinburgh offers the perfect excuse to loosen the purse strings. Bring home a vintage scotch bottle or a rare book or a piece of luxury jewellery inspired by the Scottish country side. There is so much more here than Michelin starred restaurants and Louis Vuitton-Stella Mc Kartney stores…there is an aura that cannot be defined.
