One of the city’s most romantic points of interest is the castle. This majestic and beautiful building dates back to the 16th Century and towers over the entire city on a huge piece of volcanic rock. Some of the best Edinburgh hotels are located near the Royal Mile, an exciting area of the city full of history and culture. This thriving hub of culture is an exciting place to stay, no matter what you plan to do with your time
You could also take in some culture at one of Edinburgh’s fantastic galleries and museums. Whether you’re an art novice or connoisseur, some of the best art in Scotland and the rest of the world can be enjoyed at The National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art..
When it comes to romantic meals, Edinburgh means business! The Witchery is one of the most intimate and atmospheric dining destinations imaginable. Housed in a dramatic 16th Century building at the gates of Edinburgh Castle, this beautifully decorated restaurant is surrounded by antique candlesticks and opulent furniture and features an intriguingly named room, Secret Garden, which is reached by a hidden staircase and enjoys views over a secluded courtyard.
Escape the city and discover Loch Lomond. Most Edinburgh hotels will be able to point you in the right direction of a tour or trip to the Loch, and once there, be sure to take a cruise around what is considered one of Scotland’s most beautiful lochs. Shadowed by towering peaks of the southern highlands, a cruise is a great way to discover the bonnie banks and peaks of the loch.
