The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are one of the most beautiful cityscapes in the world. The unique character of the city comes from the striking contrast between the medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town, with each area containing many significant historic buildings.
This tour will show you the very best of Edinburgh. You can experience the lively Royal Mile situated at the heart of the Old Town, with Edinburgh Castle at its head and the Palace of Holyrood House and the Scottish Parliament at its foot. Likewise you can explore Edinburgh's New Town, the largest complete example of town planning from the Georgian period. The mixture of classical architecture, grand squares, gardens and secluded lanes means that a walk through Edinburgh’s streets is a journey back in time to an age of elegance.
