1Edinburgh Old Town, Scotland

Edinburgh’s Old Town is a dramatic mix of medieval streets, Gothic buildings, and historic charm. The Royal Mile connects Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, passing by narrow closes and centuries-old pubs.

Its unique topography, with streets layered above one another, gives it a mysterious, atmospheric feel. In August, the Old Town becomes the epicenter of the Edinburgh Festival, filling its historic streets with performers, artists, and visitors from around the world.
