citytrip Edinburgh

A little bit unexpected, we found ourselves going to Edinburgh on a short citytrip, just in between working days. We left Sunday April 28 and arrived back home May 1, 2019. Edinburgh in Scotland is a really nice city for a few days to explore. It has a castle upon a hill, some great old (very old) buildings to discover and there is the Royal Mile, where you can stroll along and walk all the way down to the Palace of Hollyrood. Scottish people are very friendly, the food is great and the atmosphere layed back and relax, bagpipe music all over town and a hop-on-hop-off bus to get around. Edinburgh is also the birthplace of Harry Potter, that is, this is the place where J.K. Rowling started writing her books in the Elephant House. We also took a great walking tour (for free) to see most of the Harry Potter related sightseeings, like the Greyfriars Kirkyard.
