Escapada romántica a Edinburgh: Momentos para dos
Crea recuerdos inolvidables con tu pareja en Edinburgh, el destino romántico por excelencia.
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.

Edinburgh Castle
The iconic fortress that dominates the city from its volcanic rock. It houses the Crown Jewels of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny and offers spectacular panoramic views.

Climb Arthur's Seat for sunrise or sunset
It's a hike that requires some effort, but watching the sun rise or set over the city from the top of this ancient mountain is an absolutely magical and unforgettable experience.
Stroll along the Water of Leith
To escape the crowds, follow the Water of Leith trail. It will take you through the quiet and picturesque Dean Village and into the bohemian neighborhood of Stockbridge, making you feel like you are miles from the city.
Explore the 'Close'
Don't just walk the Royal Mile. Enter the narrow alleys ('closes' or 'wynds') that branch off from it. Each one has its own story and will transport you to another time.
tap water
Tap water in Scotland is of excellent quality and safe to drink.
