6Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh’s mix of medieval and Georgian architecture, as well as its dramatic setting between hills and sea, makes it an ideal city for a two-day getaway. Start by walking up the Royal Mile, which connects Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace.

Explore the city’s mysterious side by taking a ghost tour through the Edinburgh Vaults or visiting the Real Mary King’s Close for a peek into the city’s subterranean history. For a more active experience, hike to the top of Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano offering panoramic views of the city. Finish your day by sampling some local whisky at one of the city’s traditional pubs.
