About

Scotland’s capital is a veritable treasure trove of history and now you can visit directly from London! This ticket also includes entry to the iconic Edinburgh Castle.

Fondly known as Auld Reekie, which means ‘Old Smokey’ in Scots, the Scottish capital is one of the most memorable and unique cities in all of Europe. Roam the higgledy-piggledy medieval streets of the Old Town. Discover underground vaults, hidden passageways, and other relics of construction from a bygone era, all located in and around the cobblestoned, historic town centre.

Walk through the medieval heart of Edinburgh, filled with centuries-old buildings. Explore the traditional pubs, charming stores and casual eateries that line the ‘Royal Mile’, and visit St Giles’ Cathedral, the 900-year-old religious focal point of the city.
