O que fazer em Edimburgo

Take a stroll along Royal Mile, the main street of the Old Town, full of beautiful ancient buildings, souvenir shops and lively pubs. Nearby you can visit the Cathedral of St. Egidio and Gladstone's Land, a typical seventeenth-century house restored and decorated with original furniture and objects. Also worth seeing is the Palace of Holyroodhouse, founded as a monastery in 1128 and later become the Queen’s official Scottish residence. Then there is The Hub, an imposing black stone church converted into an exhibition space, cafe and theater, whose beautiful spire is the tallest of Edinburgh.Leaving the Old Town, you can continue your visit by going to the New Town, built in the late eighteenth century, a fine example of Georgian architecture, which earned the title of Unesco World Heritage Site along with the Old Town.A great time to visit the home of whiskey and tartan kilt is in August, when the weather is milder and the city comes alive for its Edinburgh International Festival, a series of cultural events ranging from theater to music and cinema.
