With its beautiful buildings, museums and hills offering stunning views of the city, the capital of Scotland will not leave you disappointed! It is said that J. K. Rowling wrote most of the famous Harry Potter books in the city. Walk along the Royal Mile, climb to the top of Arthur’s Seat (an extinct volcano) and learn about Scotland and Edinburgh’s history at the National Museum of Scotland and the Museum of Edinburgh. No trip to Edinburgh would be complete without a visit to the Castle, its most popular visitor attraction.
