Edinburgh city breaks - A city of exceptional beauty
Edinburgh short breaks feature a beautiful and wonderfully atmospheric city packed with fine architecture and brimming with history. The Scottish capital is a delightful city for strolling, with most of the major sights within a manageably compact central area. The principal attraction of Edinburgh weekend breaks is the look of the city itself and the delightful contrast between the narrow medieval streets of the Old Town and the graceful, elegant Georgian architecture of the New Town. All Edinburgh city breaks inevitably centre on the two great thoroughfares, the Royal Mile and Princes Street, and the truly magnificent castle that sits above the city. The hilly nature of the city along with fine parks and viewpoints make Edinburgh short breaks a favourite with those that like to explore on foot.
