Crónicas de Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, was founded in 854 AD by the Kingdom of Northumbria. Over the centuries, the city has evolved from a medieval burgh to a Georgian New Town, with the Georgian and Victorian eras leaving an indelible mark on its architecture. Today, Edinburgh is a culturally vibrant city, famous for its annual Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world, and its stunning Edinburgh Castle, perched atop Castle Rock. The city's Old Town, with its narrow closes and wynds, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bearing testament to its rich history and cultural heritage.

Principais atrações em Edinburgh
💡 Free guided tours run at 11am and 3pm. The basement cafe has the cheapest lunch on Princes Street.
💡 Head to the rooftop terrace for a clear view of the castle. The cafe does a decent bacon roll for under a fiver.
💡 Look for the grave of Thomas Riddell—J.K. Rowling borrowed the name for Tom Riddle. Ask at the art gallery next door for the map of notable graves.
💡 Start at the path behind Holyrood Palace. Avoid the grass if it's wet—it gets treacherously slippery.
💡 The glasshouses are free but ask at the ticket desk for a timed pass. The café does decent scones for under £3.
