About Edimburgo

Edimburgo, capital de Escocia sobre colinas volcánicas: castillo en un peñasco, casco antiguo medieval y elegante Ciudad Nueva georgiana.

El Castillo de Edimburgo corona Castle Rock y custodia las Honours of Scotland, las joyas de la corona escocesa. Desde allí, la Royal Mile desciende por el casco antiguo, pasando por la catedral de St Giles y un laberinto de estrechos closes, hasta el Palacio de Holyroodhouse y el Parlamento escocés. Arthur's Seat, un antiguo volcán, se alza sobre el palacio con amplias vistas.
