Best Reasons to Visit Edinburgh, Festivals, Restaurants, Bars & History
The charm and sophisticated appeal of the city entices tourists to flock and admire all of its panoramic attractions. Aside from the hard to resist Scotch wines and visit to its distilleries, the great love for art is evident with so many museums, art shows, music events, and colorful festivity that define and celebrate the points of interest that can be explored all around this beautiful city.
The National Museum Of Scotland – is centrally located in Edinburgh’s Old Town not far from the castle and the Royal Mile. It consists of the merger of two museums, the Royal Museum (focuses on science and technology), and the Museum of Scotland (focuses on the history of Scotland). The museum offers very nice exhibits with clear and easy to understand explanations. One can easily spend 2-3 hours in the museum.
Royal Yacht Britannia – A visit to the Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh safely docked in the port area is a special experience. The royal rooms and apartments as well as the officer and Team cabins and the engine rooms can be visited. Before entering the ship, you will be guided through an exhibition that tells about life on board and its great part in history. On the ship there is a guided tour to almost all areas, from the bridge over the royal apartments to the crew quarters and the engine room.
Royal Mile – this is one of the main pedestrian streets of the city of Edinburgh. It is a beautiful road from the castle to the palace through the cathedral and the new parliament of Scotland. It has lots of bars to drink beer and the famous Scottish wine. There are also nice shops alongside the inevitable souvenir shops but they are very characteristic and nice.
- Comfortable And Cozy Accommodation – besides providing versatility and privacy, it gives you a secured and comfortable feeling because you have the freedom to move around like being in the comforts of your very own home. You have a great choice between exclusively eating out or prepare a home cook meal inside a self catering house.

Every unit is fully equipped with entertainment and basic amenities (widescreen flat TV with clear channel and efficient cable service, unlimited Wi-Fi service, landline phone, ref, hot and cold showers, and AC rooms).
- Peace And Accessibility – Above all, you can stay much longer in the comforts of your bedroom and be at peace and left totally undisturbed as there will be no need for daily room service by its maintenance personnel as compared to five star hotels.
