Scotland's capital city situated on the east coast of Scotland by the firth of forth. Edinburgh has everything that a major city should plus lots more. It is a major tourist attraction all year round. Summertime sees the city hold the famous Edinburgh festival when hundreds of venues play host to every type of show you can imagine from those that are free to the master fot hem all the Military Tattoo held at the famous Edinburgh Castle. Wintertime brings the German market and the winter wonderland which transforms part of the Princes street gardens into a mini german market with ice rink and amusements. You can pay a visit for mulled wine and beer along with some stollen cake. Princes street and George street are the two main shopping areas but the smaller shops along the royal mile and around morningside and over the bridges are well worth a visit.

The best way to see some of what the city has to offer is by taking one of the many guided bus tours that allow you to gt off an on whenever you want.

There are hundreds of places to stay ranging from youth hostels to the 5 star sheraton on lothian road if you are feeling like treating yourself. The grill room at the sheraton is a treat not to be missed. Another must do retaurant at the top end of the price market is the witchery, make sue you book though to avoid disappointment.

One of the best places to go for a weekend break - you will need to reutrn to fit everything in

Summary: one weekend never enough
