Stay in hotels in Edinburgh Old Town

The Old Town in Edinburgh is probably the most ancient part of the city. It’s hard to believe but the cobblestone streets and medieval buildings in this area date as far back as the 12th century. It’s here that you’ll find the biggest number of the city’s landmarks. You can explore them all on foot while staying in hotels in Edinburgh Old Town. Start your journey with the famous Royal Mile which stretches from Edinburgh's Castle to the Holyrood Palace. Previously used as the route for the kings and queens, it is now considered the heart of the city, with the historic heritage gathered in the Museum of Edinburgh, the Scottish Parliament, and the Writer’s Museum on its way.
