When touring the city of Edinburgh, you will most likely come across the two main districts associated with the destination, which consists of the Old Town, as well as the New Town. Separating both exciting sections of the city is the Princes Street Gardens.

Before venturing out into the city, you should secure a place to stay (if this wasn’t taken cared of before arriving in Edinburgh). There are plenty of accommodation selections to choose from in the city, which work into any budget a traveler may possess. A moderately priced Edinburgh hotel can be found at the Learmonth Hotel, located at 18-20 Learmonth Terrace, which offers rooms for about $130 per night. A less expensive option includes the Herald House Hotel on 70 Grove St, Haymarket, which provides rooms for about $50 with access to a television and direct dial telephone.

After settling into an Edinburgh hotel, you will find that a wealth of interesting museums, attractions, historical points, and natural scenery awaits your inquisitiveness. When visiting the Old Town area, you will encounter what is considered the center of medieval Edinburgh. This is where you will find the most monuments possessing the best historical representations. Some that you might want to add to your itinerary includes Edinburgh Castle, St Giles' Cathedral, as well as Holyroodhouse Palace, which serves as the Royal Scottish residence.

Additional places in Edinburgh to seek out a wealth of popular tourist attractions include Calton and Arthur’s Seat, where an extinct volcano is located.
