Fantastic location. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Took us awhile to figure out the appliances, which had helpful instructions for the most part. The only issue is we never got the clothes dryer to work.

Surround yourself with history in your Edinburgh holiday apartment

The City of Edinburgh is a truly special place and an absolutely essential stop on any visit to the UK and Scotland. Steeped in history, the city's stone turrets, sweeping bridges and rocky edifices make for a magical maze to explore by both day or night.

Admire the views from the Scottish capital's iconic castle, see the street performers on the Royal Mile, discover its quirky hidden gems, and immerse yourself in its unique atmosphere. Don’t forget to partake in a wee dram of whisky!

With its magnificent castle, claimed as JK Rowling's inspiration for Hogwarts, winding stone walkways, multiple galleries, theatres, clubs and bars, you'll find enough to keep you occupied for a number of days. Finding holiday accommodation in the centre or outskirts of Edinburgh is also incredibly easy, and you'll find yourself only metres away from discovering yet another of the city's ancient secrets.

What are the best activities for families in Edinburgh?

Holidays in Edinburgh with Kids

The majority of Edinburgh holiday lettings are historic flats or townhouses near the city centre. These holiday rentals are perfect for families as you're close to the city's major attractions, with plenty of parks nearby. Bungalows are available around the city for a spacious stay.

The Harry Potter guided walking tour is perfect for visiting Edinburgh with children. You'll see where J. K. Rowling wrote her famous novels, and the places that inspired her. The guides are friendly and expert in every aspect of the Potter universe. Highlights of the tour include getting sorted into Hogwarts, seeing Voldemort's burial place, learning a few spells, and visiting the real-life Diagon Alley.

Edinburgh Castle dominates the skyline of the city and is a must-visit for any traveller here. At the entrance, pick up a free Explorer Sheet, which is a scavenger hunt list designed to keep kids interested as they walk through the castle grounds. Inside, you'll see the Scottish Crown Jewels, the Stone of Scone, and Mons Meg, a large medieval cannon.

The National Museum of Scotland is one of the UK's top-rated attractions. There are more than 8,000 objects on display in the museum, and topics range from Scottish history, to science and technology and the natural world. Much of the museum involves interactive exhibits that are perfect for kids. In Animal World, for example, kids can dig for dinosaur bones and explore how they compare with various beasts.

A visit to Dynamic Earth will be another highlight of your Edinburgh holiday. This family attraction takes visitors on a journey all the way back to the Big Bang and through the highlights of this planet's natural history. There's a 4D show where you can experience flying over tropical jungles and across the Arctic ice fields.

What are the top sights in Edinburgh?

Get lost in the magic of Edinburgh's history

Edinburgh is bursting with sights and activities, so you should definitely schedule a number of days to explore the city fully. Book an Edinburgh holiday apartment in the town centre, and you'll never be more than a fifteen-minute walk away from the action.

The Castle and Old Town

First of all, make sure you take the time to visit Edinburgh Castle and enjoy the views from the top. Walking down from the castle, you can walk along the famous Royal Mile, a cobbled pedestrianised road full of traditional shops selling Scottish fudge, kilts, tartan goods and whisky. This area is called the 'Old Town', and we strongly advise you to explore this area by foot.

Making your way down to the Cowgate, you'll discover the town's lower, darker layers. Along these winding roads you can take part in guided tours and learn about the city's dark history of witches, famous ghosts and the infamous murdering duo Burke and Hare.

Monuments in the New Town

Making your way towards the New Town area, be sure to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Carlton Hill. This hilltop has a host of architectural wonders, including the enormous Grecian style columns of the National Monument of Scotland, the tallest viewpoint in the city at the Nelson Monument. and the City Observatory, which includes its own Gothic tower.
