Explore Architecture and Culture During Your Edinburgh Hostel Stay
If you're after a unique break, why not head north of the border and spend some time in Edinburgh? This vibrant Scottish city has something to offer everyone - whether you're keen to do some shopping, see the historic sights or enjoy the cultural attractions, you're sure to have a great stay in Edinburgh hostels.
Start your visit in the beautiful heart of the city, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Here, you'll be able to see where modern architecture blends with the Georgian New Town - designed in the late 1700s - and the medieval Old Town.
History buffs will find plenty to like about the Old Town - you can see where the city's first university was established, the place where the Bank of Scotland was founded and the spectacular Edinburgh Castle.
The Georgian New Town is also well worth a visit.
This historic area was designed in the late 1700s by James Craig and its gridlike streets were part of the largest planned urban development of its time.
Stroll along Princes Street or Queen Street and have a look at the neo-Classical architecture that was intended to entice wealthy property owners back to Edinburgh from London at the beginning of the 19th century.
You may also wish to venture out of the city centre - there are plenty of self-contained small communities that are well worth a visit.
Bruntsfield is a short 20-minute walk away and could be the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch.
Alternatively, spend some time browsing through the unique shops in Stockbridge or take in the stunning mix of architectural styles in Dean Village.
Once the sun has set, you may want to enjoy some of the city's finest stand up comedy.
Edinburgh's annual Fringe Festival is a summer must-see - but you can enjoy laughs year-round at the Stand Comedy Club.
The city is also home to many fabulous theatres, as well as countless pubs, clubs and bars, so you are certain to have a memorable evening.
No matter what time of year you choose to visit Edinburgh, you're bound to have a brilliant time on your Scottish break.
