Un véritable coup de cœur !
Édimbourg, la capitale de l'Écosse, est une ville au charme unique, mêlant histoire, culture et modernité. Connue pour son architecture médiévale impressionnante et ses rues pavées pittoresques, elle offre une atmosphère à la fois majestueuse et accueillante. Dominée par son célèbre château, perché sur un rocher volcanique, Édimbourg regorge de monuments historiques, de musées fascinants et de paysages naturels époustouflants, comme Arthur's Seat, une ancienne colline volcanique offrant une vue panoramique sur la ville.
Ses quartiers contrastés, du Royal Mile historique à la nouvelle ville géorgienne élégante, témoignent de la riche histoire de la ville, tout en offrant une scène gastronomique et artistique florissante.
J'ai eu la possibilité d'admirer la beauté d'Édimbourg à deux reprises. Lors d'un citytrip en mode solo et, ensuite, lors de mon train trip en Écosse où j'ai clôturé mon voyage dans la capitale.
Lors de mes deux voyages, j'ai pris la décision de ne pas louer de voiture parce que :
1. J'aime pas conduire de nuit (je suis partie les deux fois en hiver) ;
2. Je suis couillonne de conduire à gauche ;
3. Je suis stressée des routes étroites (alors que j'ai roulé sur des routes de montagne en Crète).
J'ai donc choisi l'agence Rabbie's (https://www.rabbies.com) pour faire trois excursions d'une journée :
- Au départ d'Édimbourg : Loch Lomond National Park, Kelpies & Stirling Castle
- Au départ d'Inverness : Skye & Eilean Donan Castle & The Complete Loch Ness Experience

A real crush !
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a city of unique charm, combining history, culture and modernity. Known for its impressive medieval architecture and picturesque cobbled streets, it has a majestic yet welcoming atmosphere. Dominated by its famous castle, perched on a volcanic rock, Edinburgh is full of historic monuments, fascinating museums and breathtaking natural landscapes, such as Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcanic hill offering panoramic views over the city.
Its contrasting neighbourhoods, from the historic Royal Mile to the stylish Georgian New Town, reflect the city's rich history, while offering a thriving food and arts scene.
I had the opportunity to admire Edinburgh's beauty on two occasions. On a solo citytrip and then on my train trip to Scotland, where I ended my trip in the capital.
On my two trips, I decided not to hire a car because:
1. I don't like driving at night (I went both times in winter);
2. I'm a coward for driving on the left;
3. I'm stressed about narrow roads (even though I've driven on mountain roads in Crete).
So I chose Rabbie's (https://www.rabbies.com) for three day trips:
- From Edinburgh: Loch Lomond National Park, Kelpies & Stirling Castle
- From Inverness: Skye & Eilean Donan Castle & The Complete Loch Ness Experience

Words are not enough to describe Istanbul. Home, history, love, devotion, melancholy, chaos, happiness, excitement, loneliness...
if I had to be a city in the world, it would be Istanbul.
Istanbul is like a movie whose ending you cannot predict, a poem that makes you cry when you read it, a song that reminds you of the past when you listen to it... I hope you enjoy this guide, which I have prepared with all my feelings and local recommendations.
