PRACTICAL WANDERLUST
Grab your warmest coat and a cup of hot cocoa, because we're about to take you on a winter journey through the beautiful and enchanting city of Edinburgh.
As the temperature drops and the days become shorter, this historic Scottish capital transforms into a wonderland filled with cozy nooks, twinkling lights, and festive celebrations.
The atmosphere is magical and mysterious at the same time, you feel like you have the city to yourself, and I’ve always had an amazing time!
If you are visiting Edinburgh around New Year’s Eve, you are in for a treat! The New Year’s celebration in Edinburgh is called Hogmanay.
It was built in 1103. Imagine all the things that happened and the people who lived here in the last 920 years! This place has a lot of stories to tell.
From the top of Calton Hill you’ll get great views of Edinburgh with the castle in the background.
An entry ticket costs around $23 and gives you access to some of the beautiful rooms (sorry if you’re a fan, not King Charles’ bedroom), collection of art and the lovely gardens.
You may have figured out by now that Scotland is famous for its high-quality malt whisky (this is not a typo: whisky produced in Scotland must legally be spelled without the ‘e’).
