The North Coast 500 is the magical route around the Highlands of Scotland.
This journey begins in Inverness, known as the gateway to the Highlands. We will drive to the West coast of Scotland, with the opportunity to include the Isle of Skye if you have some extra time. Then, we drive clockwise along the coast, taking in waterfalls, lochs, beaches, and the rolling hills of Scotland.
While driving the NC500, you will see the highlights of the route, with many opportunities for hikes, walks along the beach, and castles. As you drive you will be presented with scenic vistas of the rugged Scottish Highlands, whose views are known worldwide and are the real reason this route is so popular. You are encouraged to stop often at scenic points along the way to fully appreciate your surroundings.
This guide will include a full itinerary for an 11 day trip. It can be cut down to 9 days if you remove the Isle of Skye. If you don't do all the activities, you could potentially cut down some more time, but I have tried to limit driving to under 3 hours a day. This guide also includes suggestions on where to stay and where to eat dinner for each night of the trip.
Estimated budget of this trip based on 2 people sharing a room:
Accommodation (usually including a full breakfast) at an average £130 a night = £1,300
Dinner at an average £40 pp = £800
Car rental c. £40 per day = £440
Fuel for c. 830 miles at 148.5p = £1,235
Other (entry prices, parking) = £200
Total = £3,975
The food budget in particular in subject to where you go and what you order. This also doesn't include prices for lunch. Accommodation prices could also be reduced by staying in hostels rather than hotels/ B&Bs. Car rental prices were found on Kayak comparable site - these are variable.

Welcome to the Faroe Islands!
September is a fabulous month for those yearning to explore the secluded Faroe Islands. The autumn in Faroe Islands will slowly roll in and the magical colours of the Arctic grass carpet on the mountains will start to show. In early September everything is still lush green but will softly transform to colours of yellow, orange and red as the bright evenings of summer are taken over by the darker nights of autumn.
The Faroe islands are truly a magical place. Located half way between Scotland and Iceland in the Northeast Atlantic, the Faroe Islands are an archipelago of 18 mountainous islands, with a total land area of 1,399 square kilometres, a sea area of 274,000 square kilometres and a population of 50,000. The language of the Faroe Islands is Faroese.
The average day temperature in September is 9° C (48° F). Snow is very unlikely. The temperature will be quit stable never getting below 5° C and above 15° C.
Expect hoovering wind to blow in your face while you are out immersing yourself in the wilderness. Rain can from time to time drop almost horizontally and waterfalls along the mountains might just as well flow upward than drop down.

Scotland is famous for kilts, interesting accents, and spectacular landscapes. I have been to Scotland twice. There is much to see and do, so choose your destinations and make a plan. Edinburgh is a magical place with ancient history and recent artistry. I recommend purchasing one of the hop-on-hop-off tour companies to get around to all the attractions. Reservations are key in this city from the castle to restaurants. Use the local apps to reserve.

How to spend 2 days in Edinburgh, Scotland and see A LOT. I did this trip between Christmas and New Years but it can be done at any point.
I enjoyed purchasing the City Sightseeing bus Hop on Hop off tickets that had tickets for the Edinburgh Castle but those tickets can also be bought separately.

If you're looking for a city escape to live your European Summer dream, you've come to the right place! This is my 100% honest opinion of my 10 favorite European cities to visit in Summer.
I see lots and lots of guides out there suggesting Paris (hello, has someone heard of the Olympic Games taking place?), Madrid (if you love 45° weather I guess) or Lisbon (great choice if you want to be 1 or 100 000 tourists). While these are all great destinations year-round, I don't think Summer is the right season to visit them. Personally, I'd go there in Spring or Autumn, not during the high season.
Full disclosure, this is a no Greece, no Italy guide. You'll only find cities that I love, and I think are worth going to discover if you're looking for a short city-escape this Summer.

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

Free and paid guides for the UK, all in one place.
A little bit more about myself:
After a one week roadtrip in Scotland and spending a year in the UK as part of my degree (Erasmus+), I fell in love with the UK. I then came back to France (my home country) to finish my master's degree, met my British husband online and we were on a long distance relationship for almost 3 years.
We got married in November 2022 and relocated to London in early 2023. Each chance we get, we escape London and visit the UK National Parks, towns and cities.
Through these guides, I want to encourage you to explore the UK's hidden gems and most beautiful locations.
Tip: If you want to get a sense of where these locations are relative to major cities like London, make sure to use the map feature!
I hope these guides will be useful and inspire you to explore more of the UK!

After having lived in the UK for 2 years during the pandemic, I quickly realized how much there is to see and do on that tiny little island.
Since I lived in London during the pandemic when borders were closed, I really got to know the UK well. I tried to travel as much and as far as I could. Now I want to share this with you, I want to encourage you to explore the hidden gems and all the different corners of the UK.
Tip: if you want to get a sense of where these locations are relative to major cities like London, be sure to use the map feature!
I hope these guides are useful and inspire you to explore more of the UK!
