Is a holiday rental in Edinburgh worth it?

A holiday apartment in Edinburgh offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Fascinating culture and experience Edinburgh like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, dramatically sits on volcanic hills and blends medieval romance with Georgian elegance. The Royal Mile winds down from the mighty Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, passing by winding closes and centuries-old pubs. The Old Town and New Town together are a UNESCO World Heritage site — a mix of dark alleys and spacious Georgian squares. Edinburgh is a city of literature: the birthplace of Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling wrote in the Elephant House Café), home to Sir Walter Scott and Stevenson. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August is the world's largest arts festival with over 3,000 shows. Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano in the city, offers hikes with panoramic views. On foggy evenings, when the street lamps of the Old Town glow, one understands why Edinburgh is considered one of the most atmospheric cities in Europe.
