Enjoy the sites of the city in comfort with Edinburgh holiday cottages
Edinburgh is a city made for exploring, peeling back the layers of history, discovering tucked-away gastronomic delights, stumbling across some amazing culture and, if it's festival season, having a great laugh. It's a friendly city and one of the cultural hotspots in the UK.
Visit Edinburgh and you'll discover a city where the streets are brimming with great shops, museums and historic landmarks, as well as top-quality bars and restaurants. Travel to Edinburgh during the Edinburgh Fringe and watch the city come alive with music, drama, and comedy.
Holiday cottages in Edinburgh are a great way to experience this world-class city, whether you're looking for a cosy couple's hideaway or something spacious and conveniently located in the heart of the city.
If you're on the hunt for Edinburgh self-catering accommodation with bags of character, comfort, style, and all the amenities you could wish for, you'll find lots of beautiful cottages at Snaptrip.
Why choose an Edinburgh weekend break or staycation?
When you're craving a city holiday with fresh air, historical sites, excellent attractions, natural beauty, brilliant shops and restaurants and lots of Scottish charm, Edinburgh offers it all…and then some.
From the atmospheric Old Town complete with ghost tours and ancient buildings to the elegant Georgian New Town, Edinburgh is a compact yet fit-to-bursting city, topped off with the breathtaking Edinburgh Castle towering over everything.
The castle is a must-see attraction. Nestled on top of Castle Rock, you can't help but stare at its captivating beauty and size. It's home to countless important Scottish artefacts, including the oldest crown jewels in the UK. Once you've climbed up to the mighty fortress, you can join a guided tour to learn about its significant history.
Even before Edinburgh became the world's best city for festivals, it had an important place in history, as you'll find out when you tour landmarks such as Holyrood Royal Palace, which was built in the 16th century.
The city has a fantastical quality, especially as it is overlooked by the extinct volcano, Arthur's Seat, which is great for a spot of hiking and delivers some of the best views of the city and surrounding countryside. Take a picnic and your walking shoes and spend a couple of hours climbing before rewarding yourself with the views below.
For a spot of cosmopolitan city life, take a stroll down the famous Royal Mile and pop into shops, boutiques, and restaurants. If you're a whisky fan, make sure you stop at the Scotch Whisky Experience and treat yourself to one (or several) samples of the delicious amber tipple. For more whisky tasting, visit Johnnie Walker Princes Street and relax in the chic bar.
If you're an art lover, a trip to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is a must. You can tour excellent galleries and exhibitions featuring masterpieces from the 1900s to the present day. Or why not take a trip to the weird and wonderful Camera Obscura and World of Illusions? Featuring five floors of interactive curiosities and illusions, this is a great place to take the kids.
With so much to see and do in Edinburgh, you'll only wish your trip could last longer.
