Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh is one of the world’s most visually dramatic and vibrant cities.

From the charming cobbled streets of the Old Town to the beautiful Georgian avenues of the New Town, Edinburgh is a city of contrasts blending shopping, historic attractions, gardens and plenty of restaurants and cafes where you can relax.

Yummy flavored Haggis...mmmm

My favorite attractions were:

 1.The Scottish National Gallery.

The Gallery houses the national collection of fine art from the early Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century. Spend an hour strolling around this peaceful setting and you’ll find masterpieces from Raphael, El Greco, Velázquez and Rubens to Van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne, Degas and Gauguin.

2. The Old Town.

Edinburgh's oldest neighborhood, dating back to medieval times: these small streets are lined with wool shops, pubs and historical monuments.

The Tartan Weaving Mill was a great experience! You can feel and touch the threads that are prepared for weaving - see and hear the history of Highland dress through the ages.

The University of Edinburgh - George Square campus consists of a mix of old and new buildings, and are working together beautifully.
