STAYING IN EDINBURGH

Perhaps it's the looming bluff of Arthur's Seat that looms over the city, the dominating presence of Edinburgh Castle brooding on its own rock, or the mists that seem to hug the city's Gothic architecture, there's something magical about Edinburgh. Edinburghers are incredibly proud of their city and are as quick to welcome visitors to Scotland's capital as they are to expound upon the city's long and storied history. Beyond the old-world architecture, Edinburgh has plenty to offer. The city plays host to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world, and is renowned for its literary history - so much so that it has been named a UNESCO City of Literature.

Step outside the door of your accommodation in Edinburgh, and you're in the city's historical heart. Adjacent you'll find the High Court of Justiciary, Scotland's highest criminal court. Turn right onto Lawnmarket and head up Castlehill to Edinburgh Castle. Along the way, enter the mind-bending world of Camera Obscura & World of Illusions. Across the road, enjoy a dram of Scotland's finest at the Whisky Museum.

EDINBURGH BY FOOT

Edinburgh is relatively compact, so the ideal way to soak up the city's soul is to don comfortable walking shoes and head out to explore. Your Edinburgh accommodation is located just off the Royal Mile, arguably one of the most famous streets in the world. The Royal Mile offers plenty to see and do. Whisky lovers will love the Scotch Whisky Experience, a public display of over 4,000 whiskies with professional whisky tasting tours. For a hair-raising experience, dare to venture into the Real Mary King's Close, a warren of streets, homes and passageways hidden beneath the Royal Mile. The Close is shrouded in myth and mystery, filled with tales of ghosts and foul deeds.

Beyond the Royal Mile, it's worth just setting out and wandering the streets and laneways throughout the Old Town. Along the way, stop in at a pub for a quiet pint, stop in at a traditional sweet shop for a sweet treat, or wander The Mound past The Royal Scottish Gallery, Scottish National Gallery, and the New College of the University of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh undoubtedly is one of the world’s most Instagrammable cities. There’s something worthy of your timeline around every corner, so where do you even begin? Read all about the top Instagram spots in Edinburgh and find out.

HISTORICAL EDINBURGH

Inside and out, Edinburgh's historical sites are sure to impress. There's a lot to see, and you could easily spend a few days wandering in and out of the city's galleries and museums. Start at Edinburgh Castle, only a stone's throw from your Edinburgh serviced apartments. The Seat of Scottish kings since the 12th century, the castle has been both a royal residence, military fortress and a prison of war over its long history. Down the Royal Mile and Canongate, you'll find the Palace of Holyrood, the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland and once home to Mary, Queen of Scots. Inside the grounds, you'll find the fay ruins of Holyrood Abbey, founded in 1128 by King David I. The abbey was the site of the crowning of James II and Margaret Tudor, to name just two monarchs who knelt at the abbey's altar.

WHERE THE WORLD COMES FOR INSPIRATION

Edinburgh has a long association with the arts, being recognised as the world's first UNESCO City of Literature in 2004 for its role in inspiring generations of writers including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Robert Burns - Scotland's national bard. For visual arts, it's hard to look past the Scottish National Gallery, housing the Scottish national collection including works by Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gough, and Peter Graham. For contemporary works, The Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture next door houses a rolling collection of current exhibitions. Of course, Edinburgh's crowning artistic glory is the annual Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. Every year, the festival attracts almost three million visitors to see artists from over 150 countries strut their stuff on the stage...and the street, the bars and pretty much anywhere an appreciative audience will join them for the fun of it.

EDINBURGH'S GARDENS AND PARKS

Edinburgh is a remarkably lovely city, and its many parks and gardens add to the effect. Lovers of nature and growing green things will be spoiled for choice, however a few stand out. Located close to your serviced apartments, Holyrood Park sits right in the middle of Edinburgh yet manages to feel obstinately rugged and untamed despite incorporating the ruins of Iron Age forts and Bronze Age terraces on its grounds. Arthur's Seat rises above the city and affords panoramic views to the sea. At the edge of Edinburgh's Old Town, The Meadows is a large public park acting as a commons for Edinburghers of all ages - the perfect place for an impromptu picnic. Dr Neil's Garden is one of Edinburgh's hidden gems, a garden of conifers, heathers, magnolias that nestles in the shadow of Arthur's Seat and is incredibly beautiful in the winter months.

CULINARY EDINBURGH

Scotland's capital is awash with quality pubs, gastropubs, and high-quality dining establishments. There's something enduringly wholesome about standing in the confines of a warm pub on a cold winter's day nursing a pint of a local craft brew. Located close to your Edinburgh serviced apartments, the cosy Bow Bar on is a no-frills pub with an impressive array of Scotch single malts and blends. On the dining side, it's hard to go past one of Edinburgh's most well-known dining establishments, Café St Honoré. The venue has been around for what seems like forever, and chef Neil Forbes serves up contemporary Scottish dishes using fresh seasonal produce and slow food principles.
