Immerse yourself in Edinburgh's rich past on the Royal Mile. Begin by catching the 1pm cannon fire at dramatic Edinburgh Castle. Then walk the road's cobbled length to marvel at its mix of ramshackle buildings, brooding spires and atmospheric alleyways.
Must Do:
Climbing the grassy slopes of Arthur's Seat is a local tradition. At just 250m the hill in Holyrood Park is an easy climb, and affords picture-perfect panoramic views of Edinburgh. Take a picnic along for a great afternoon out.
What's New:
Delve into the life of one of Scotland's most infamous monarchs. The Mary Queen of Scots tourist trail links up some fascinating city sights including the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where Mary spent much of her turbulent life.
Don't Go Home Without:
Indulging in some serious retail therapy on Princes Street, 5 minutes' walk from the Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre. Among the big-name department stores you'll find speciality shops selling everything from whisky to Highland dress.
Tips:
The Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre is directly opposite the Omni Centre. Indoor entertainment options include a cinema, restaurants and a comedy club. There's also discounted health club entrance for hotel guests.
