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.

Follow this ultra-detailed 6-day route around Ireland, including Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Dingle, Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, Cork and Dublin.
I'm sharing 63 total restaurant and pub recommendations, hotels, must-dos and alternate options. Plus, tips for driving, when to book ahead and other tidbits we picked up along the way.
This is a fast-moving itinerary that makes the most of your short time in Ireland. If you want to see as much as you can while still having time to soak in the culture, this guide is for you.
Originally planned for the first week of October 2023, but can be adapted to fit any 6-7 day travel window. It was the first of a two-leg trip with the second week split between England and Scotland (that itinerary is coming soon!)
I took this trip with my boyfriend, so it is best suited for couples or small groups who like a jam-packed itinerary.

Day 1 - Fly in + Galway

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
