Edinburgh and related destinations

Towering over the city, Edinburgh Castle commands attention from its ancient volcanic perch, while the Royal Mile below teems with bagpipers, whisky shops, and centuries-old pubs. The Camera Obscura offers mind-bending optical illusions alongside spectacular city views. August brings the legendary Fringe Festival, transforming every available space into a performance venue. Princes Street Gardens provide a peaceful respite beneath the castle's imposing shadow. At the Scotch Whisky Experience, learn the difference between Highland and Islay malts before sampling a dram. The National Museum of Scotland houses treasures from dinosaur fossils to Dolly the sheep. Dynamic Earth takes you on a journey through time itself, perfect for escaping those infamous Scottish rain showers.

Market Street Hotel

Market Street Hotel

8/10 Good
"Everything about the hotel is excellent. Room, location, cleanliness. We just had a really rough check in. We had asked for an early check in months prior, and were told they would do everything to accommodate us. We arrived at 8:00am and weren’t given our room until 2:30. Checkout isn’t until 11, so expected 12 the latest. We were not given a time window and basically ignored in the beautiful lobby."
