Thanks to its spectacular rocks, rustic buildings and a huge collection of medieval and classic architecture, including numerous stone decorations, it is often considered one of the most lively cities in Europe. Most of the structures in the Old Town have remained in their original form over the years. Charming medieval relics are plenty in this section of the city. In contrast, orderly Georgian terraces line the streets of the New Town. The general urban scenery is a blend of ancient structures and modern architecture, which gives the city a unique character]]> 2018-03-03 15:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/valucr03/npkcb1k24x0z/wish/237701218 valucr03 https://padlet.com/valucr03/npkcb1k24x0z/wish/237701568 it takes about 3 hours from Rome to Edinburgh by airplane]]> 2018-03-03 15:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/valucr03/npkcb1k24x0z/wish/237701568 valucr03 https://padlet.com/valucr03/npkcb1k24x0z/wish/237701816 2018-03-03 16:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/valucr03/npkcb1k24x0z/wish/237701816 ITINERARY DAY ONE: valucr03 https://padlet.com/valucr03/npkcb1k24x0z/wish/237702233 EDINBURGH CASTLE

The origins of St. Giles go up again to the XII century but the visible building today it goes up again to Four hundred as the beautiful cuspide crowned of its central tower.
Considered the crib of the Scottish Presbyterianism, the fame of the church entitled to the patron of the city is tied up to the reformer Calvinist John Knox that it was the shepherd of it between 1560 and the 1572. to the inside they detach the colored glass door and the Chapel of the Thistle (Thistle Chapel) built with woods and stones refined in 1911 for the Riders of the ancient and noble order of the Thistle.

MEADOWS
It's a very great area where you can relax. It is the preferred place of many students and it is the ideal place in which to spend the days of sun, with expanses of green and trees in flower.
CALTON HILL
It is the preferred destination of all those that want to immortalize the city in all of its beauty. There is the famous National Monument, an acropolis ever finished and better known among the places as "the Misfortune of Edimburgo." It is considered from some one example of architectural failure, but always stays one of the best points to see Edinburgh from the tall one.
ROYAL MILE
The Royal Mile is without doubt the most famous road in the city. It connects the Castle to the Scottish Parliament. The road is situated in the old city, it is coasted along by tall buildings in stone, and it is full of very famous closes. This is without doubt one of the zones more trafficked of tourists of the city.
