EDINBURGH - THE ROYAL CITY , OVERNIGHT EDINBURGH

Highlights include:

• Train to Edinburgh with reserved seats
• sightseeing open-top tour of Edinburgh
• Entrance to Edinburgh Castle
• hotel Edinburgh City Centre (breakfast included)

Your train from London's King's Cross Station whizzes you due North from London passing through the Midlands and its canals and market towns, then past old mill towns built during the Industrial Revolution before skirting England's East coast to arrive at the Royal City of Edinburgh at around 11.30. Right by the station you board your open-top sightseeing bus where you'll get a bird's eye view of this majestic City! Your hop-on hop-off ticket allows you the freedom to leave and re-join the bus as often as you like over a 24 hour period - frequent departures throughout the day mean you have total flexibility to plan your day the way YOU choose! You'll see all the main sights, attractions and landmarks of this lovely City, including the Old Town quarter, the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, The gloriously intricate Scott Monument decorated with 64 statues of characters from Walter Scott's novels, the Palace of Holyrood House where state ceremonies and official entertaining take place when the Queen is in Scotland (though it has its own murderous history!) and the brand new Scottish Parliament Building. You might want to wander through the cobbled City centre streets, visit St Giles's Kirk or John Knox's House or stroll along Princes Street checking out the tartan, whisky and shortbreads that have made Scotland famous!

Your tour includes tickets to Edinburgh Castle where you can live like a King for a day! The Castle was built high on a hill in the 11th Century, with spectacular rock face, so as to deter invaders and the view from the Castle walls across the City and beyond is spectacular. You'll also see the Scottish Crown Jewels, believed to be the oldest crown jewels in Europe.

Your 3 star Hotel is centrally located so you can choose your evening's entertainment - and what a choice there is! A wealth of cinemas, theatres, atmospheric bars and pubs and City events beckon...After breakfasting at your Hotel you spend the day in Edinburgh at your leisure exploring the City - your hop-on hop-off sightseeing ticket is still valid so you can get around the attractions more easily. The City is yours for the day!
