Edinburgh

With yet its own urban castle and unbeatable charm, the Scottish city of Edinburgh give Prague a run for its money as Europe’s best Medieval city. As you stroll the worn streets your trip gets downright magical as you hear beautiful music from kilt-clad bagpipers, stories of the Loch Ness Monster from the North, and tales of Braveheart himself, William Wallace. There have been Royal Castles in Edinburgh since the 1100s, but it is less about sights and more about the history and folklore which we love about the Medieval city.

The castle lies on a hill and dominates the Edinburgh skyline much like a skyscraper, however the sight of this 11th-century castle is far more stunning than any modern skyscraper. From the street in the city center, you can watch ships arriving in Edinburgh from all over the world.

The streets of the "ancient town" are narrow. The lofty residences with limited windows ascend the slopes to the 1000-year-old Edinburgh castle. The current town is situated in the age of the hills. The streets here are straight and well-planned, making it easy to walk around the city when visiting in Edinburgh. In Edinburgh, many outstanding men have lived and worked. Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet, and the publication of his first collection of poems in Edinburgh. In the city, there is a memorial to him. Edinburgh is also proud of Walter Scott, the author of many historical novels, and Robert Louis Stevenson, a well-known English writer.
