Ciao, edinburgh

Edinburgh effortlessly balances its weighty history with contemporary energy. The Royal Mile’s weathered cobbles lead past medieval closes and modern whisky bars, while the shopfronts of Princes Street mirror the jagged skyline of the Old Town. By day, you can hike up Arthur’s Seat for panoramas that stretch to the Firth of Forth; by evening, join the animated crowds at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe or browse the shelves of independent bookshops. Scotland's compact, hilly capital is a city where every alley holds a story waiting to be uncovered.

Scottish Parliament Building

The Scottish Parliament Building at the foot of the Royal Mile is a striking, award-winning complex designed by the late Catalan architect Enric Miralles. Opened in 2004, its unconventional forms are deeply symbolic, intended to represent an open, well-rooted democracy. The journey through the building is a key part of the experience, moving from the cave-like Main Hall up to the light-filled Debating Chamber. You can take a free guided tour to understand the architecture's meaning, watch parliamentary debates from the public gallery (tickets required, typically Tuesday-Thursday), or explore the exhibition space. It is a must-see for its bold design as much as for its political significance.
