Edinburgh - also known as the "Athens of the North" - is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with a distinctive and unique skyline. Edinburgh's beauty comes about from its preservation over the years in its own medieval atmosphere, with the buildings, the castle, the statues and anything else that stands tall breathing with its distinct history. This historic city's spectacular beauty also lies in the variety that is unique to Edinburgh: cathedrals, old kirks and buildings, a castle situated right in the middle of the city, beautiful gardens at the bottom of the Castle Rock and haunting kirkyards. The outlines of castle and battlements, Gothic-spired Scott Monument, and Greek-pillared galleries are known worldwide through print and postcard.

And while in Edinburgh, there's always something to do or try out: going shopping in luxurious stores such as Jenner’s and Harvey Nichols or relaxing in the Docks area (Leith), and experiencing the Edinburgh International Festival - a grand annual event which lasts throughout the month of August, and attracting tens of thousands of tourists every year who enjoy the Festival shows as well as the famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
