Sobre Edimburgo

Edimburgo es la capital de Escocia, conocida por el contraste dramático entre su casco antiguo medieval y el elegante New Town neoclásico. Sobre una roca volcánica, el [97] Castillo de Edimburgo domina el horizonte, mientras que los extensos [32535] Jardines de Princes Street llenan el valle entre ambos distritos históricos. Los visitantes pueden explorar la historia subterránea de la ciudad en [32125] The Real Mary King's Close o caminar por la histórica Royal Mile, que conecta el castillo con el [31434] Palacio de Holyroodhouse. La ciudad sigue siendo un centro global de literatura y ciencia, con colecciones de clase mundial en el [273] Museo Nacional de Escocia.
