Edinburgh Castle is the most distinguished landmark of the city; perched on a hilltop, the castle is home to several interesting attractions primarily the Scottish Crown Jewels and the well-preserved St. Margaret’s Chapel. The Palace of Holyroodhouse, though partly in ruins, is very dramatic and also displays the royal art collection. The Royal Botanic Garden spread over several acres and including numerous glasshouses is considered to be the best of its kind in the UK.
The Royal Mile is a long stretch of road flanked by some of the most beautiful buildings of Edinburgh. Of these, the most important is the Museum of Scotland. It houses the most comprehensive collection of artefacts depicting the history of the region.
The Edinburgh Festival includes a range of festivals from the end of July to September. Most important is the Edinburgh International Festival which attracts theatre, opera and music performers from around the world.
