About Edimburgo

Edimburgo, capital da Escócia sobre colinas vulcânicas: castelo num rochedo, Cidade Velha medieval e elegante Cidade Nova georgiana.

O Castelo de Edimburgo coroa Castle Rock e guarda as Honours of Scotland, as joias da coroa escocesa. Dali, a Royal Mile desce pela Cidade Velha, passando pela catedral de St Giles e um labirinto de estreitos closes, até ao Palácio de Holyroodhouse e ao Parlamento escocês. Arthur's Seat, um antigo vulcão, ergue-se sobre o palácio com amplas vistas.
