No other European city (not even Milan) is so dominated, as Edinburgh is, by its Castle. Never out of sight, this lofty 15th century edifice perches high on one of the several extinct volcanos that imparted to the city its undulating cityscape. The ancient road that rambles down from the Castle's entrance marks the beginning of Edinburgh's famed Royal Mile. Site of the original city, the Royal Mile is richly laden with historical attractions such as St. Giles Church, John Knox's House and Parliament House. Numerous pubs and taverns are tucked into various alleyways and "closes". Royal Mile ends at Holyroodhouse Palace and Park - a royal residence from Charles II to the present Queen of England.
Separated from the Old Town, by several centuries, is the Georgian elegance of Edinburgh's New Town: beginning at tony Princes Street and its beautifully maintained Gardens, the straight streets, serene Georgian facades and gracefully designed parks reflect the prosperous era of the 18th century Scottish Enlightenment. In today's lively Edinburgh, a museum, concert hall, curiosity shop or interesting night spot are seldom far. Nor is the corner pub, a refreshing pint and excellent company.
