City: Edinburgh

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is one of the most spectacular cities in the world, a place where the drama of the natural landscape merges with ancient history. Located on a series of extinct volcanoes, its horizon is dominated by the imposing Castle that stands on a rock. The city is divided into two: the labyrinthine and medieval Old Town, which descends the Royal Mile, and the elegant and orderly Georgian New Town. The birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment and the literary capital of the world, Edinburgh comes to life in a unique way each August, when it becomes the global epicenter of the arts with its world-famous festivals. It is a city of mystery, intellect and unforgettable beauty.
