Edinburg welcomes about 2 million tourists a year. Ancient capital of Scotland, it is a city rich in history whose center was classified by UNESCO as World Heritage.
The main attraction in Edinburgh is the ancient castle that rises in the heart of the old town. The castle still has military functions, but is open to the public as a museum. Around it, there are very narrow medieval streets.
Prince’s Street is the road that separates the old town from the new city, the modern Edinburgh. Along this road there are also great English parks frequented by locals during the rare sunny days.
Cycling in Edinburgh is a fun and fascinating experience. In the city cycling is widespread and there are numerous tourist routes ideal for those who travel by bike. The metropolitan area’s bike path system is very wide and almost every bike store can give you a map.
Cycle routes are pretty much easy for all, but Edinburgh is developed on seven hills so you also need to face some climb. The fatigue will be repaid by the wonderful view of the city and the surrounding countryside from above.
If you are planning to leave, be sure to pack the right outfit. Edinburgh has a drizzle and humid climate, but strong storms are very rare. The rain isn’t often abundant but distributed throughout the year.
