Citylife Weekend Trip to Edinburgh

from £139.00

THE BEATING HEART OF SCOTLAND

Join Citylife and other internationals from across the UK as we explore the beating heart of Scotland.

Edinburgh is one of the most popular cities in the United Kingdom with a few million visitors every year. It is Scotland’s compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings.

The Athens of the North, an 18th-century Edinburgh nickname dreamed up by the great thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, is a city of high culture and lofty ideals, of art and literature, philosophy and science. It is here that each summer the world’s biggest arts festival rises, phoenix-like, from the ashes of last year’s rave reviews and broken box-office records to produce yet another string of superlatives. And it is here, beneath the Greek temples of Calton Hill – Edinburgh’s acropolis – that the Scottish parliament sits again after a 300-year absence.

Arthur’s Seat is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh and is located at the highest point in Holyrood Park. It is a dormant volcano which gives incredible views of the city. It sits at 251 m above sea level and is a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Edinburgh.
