Arriving in the city itself, you’re immediately greeted by the city’s rich history, the stunning architecture of the Old Town and New Town melding together to create a picturesque patchwork of the cities fascinating history. Sitting pride of place in the centre of the city is Edinburgh Castle, which has presided over Edinburgh since the 12th century.

For a little luxury the Balmoral Hotel, is an Edinburgh icon in the heart of the city. This beautiful building has been welcoming guests since 1902 and offers a view of Edinburgh Castle, spa and Michelin-star dining. But when it comes to accommodation there’s plenty on offer including the Edinburgh Grand, a luxury all-apartment residence in St Andrew Square in the city centre. The Residence pays homage to its former life as an historic banking landmark, The National Bank of Scotland, and the well-known building has been beautifully renovated to house 50 fully equipped serviced apartments. The City also has smaller, boutique stays such as the stunning Glasshouse Hotel where each unique suites is named after a Scotch whisky.

Edinburgh’s beauty is both staggering and unique. But, the city is far more than just a pretty face, there is much more to discover.

Edinburgh’s shopping ranges from the world’s best luxury names, to local, independent talent just waiting to be discovered. With more restaurants per head of population than anywhere else in the UK there is something for every taste, be it Michelin-starred, or pop-up street-food with award-winning chefs, is not to be missed..

Back into the heart of Edinburgh and you can easily spend an afternoon exploring the city on foot or using the world class transport system. Make time to visit the iconic Edinburgh Castle and some of the museums and galleries on offer as well as the newest attraction the Johnnie Walker Experience where you can discover the history of the whisky and then explore the 1820 rooftop bar with stunning views of the Castle and Princes Street.

If sports appeal, then this is the city for you. From long hikes to sea swimming and miles of cycle paths through the city. Home to two top flight football teams and home of Scottish Rugby’s BT Murrayfield stadium, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to take in a football or rugby match or two.

While it won’t smash any temperature records, the summers can be glorious, between May and September is ideal.
