City breaks in Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle by night.
 

Your perfect Edinburgh city break might include taking in its famous sights from Edinburgh Castle to Holyroodhouse palace. Or maybe you want to immerse yourself in art at the National Gallery of Scotland. Whatever your passion, you'll savour winding down over cocktails and fine modern Scottish cuisine in the New Town on your city break in Edinburgh.

Dining and unwinding on Edinburgh city breaks

Taste the best local seafood and Highland beef, and discover the beauty of haggis on your city break in Edinburgh. If you're vegetarian, there's plenty of choice in affordable Hanover Street. Whet your appetite with coffee and seafood by the port in Leith, mosey around George Street in the New Town if you're into fine dining, or find informal cafes and tearooms around Grassmarket on your Edinburgh city break.

Special places to stay in Edinburgh

You don't have to worry about distances between sights on Edinburgh city breaks, so choose from a Georgian boutique hotel in the New Town or rooms with history on the Royal Mile. Try a grand hotel on Princes Street with Castle views on an Edinburgh city break or, for family-style comforts, stay at a chintz-and-lace guesthouse in northern Edinburgh.

Things to do on Edinburgh city breaks

Divide your days between the Old and New Towns on your Edinburgh city break. Start your city break with Edinburgh Castle and the historic buildings and lanes running off the Royal Mile. Enjoy views over Edinburgh from the craggy viewpoint of Arthur's Seat or surrounded by monuments on Calton Hill. If you're a serious shopper, find the hottest fashions in Stockbridge or browse Edinburgh's rarefied department stores on your city break in Edinburgh.
