Edinburgh
The city that inspires us
Edinburgh is one of the most astonishing cities in Europe. As you stroll through architecture of the medieval era, you’ll pass by the coolest shops, restaurants and art galleries. Everywhere you go you’ll find beautiful parks and green spaces and even the sea shore isn’t far away. Uphill and downhill, ascend crooked steps and descend the narrow closes of the Old Town, charming alleyways that branch off the street at right angles, home to some of the best restaurants and shops. If you’re looking to get fit, all you have to do is walk through the city centre! You’ll find Scotland’s capital is built on seven hills. The heart of Edinburgh’s city centre is the Royal Mile, a long cobbled-stone street that slopes down from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace.
