Sunday 29 October
About the destination
Spend the day in our nation's enchanting capital city and explore the medieval Old Town, which is home to many of the city’s most iconic locations including the Royal Mile.
The National Museum of Scotland, which is the UK’s most popular attraction outside of London, is also nestled in this stunning part of the city. With thousands of amazing objects across multiple galleries, the Museum offers you a world of discovery all under one roof. The Grand Gallery is one of the most spectacular spaces in the country and there are galleries dedicated to Art, Design & Fashion, the Natural World, Science & Technology, Scottish History & Archaeology, World Culture, Ancient Egypt, and East Asia.
With Halloween approaching, you also have the option to add on a spooky underground journey through the city's darkest history at Edinburgh Dungeon, featuring live actors, theatrical sets, and thrilling rides. Spaces for the Dungeon are limited, so book now to avoid disappointment.
