When traveling to Edinburgh, the Scottish capital and “Prince of Cities” here are some must-see sights:

The Georgian House
For a glimpse into the lifestyle of Edinburgh’s 18th century upper class, visit the Georgian House in Edinburgh’s “New Town.” Refurbished and opened to the public by Scotland’s National Trust, the Georgian House boasts elegant architecture and antiques.

Gladstone’s Land
On the other end of the spectrum, this 17th century merchant house, though beautifully restored, shows how confined living conditions were on the Royal Mile centuries ago.

Museum of Scotland
Discover everything you ever wanted to know about Scotland, including a few things you never knew existed—like a milk bottle actor Sean Connery carried when he was a milkman.

Museum of Childhood
Described as the noisiest museum in the world, this is the world’s first museum devoted to the wonders of childhood. Delight in the old-fashioned toys, books, and nickelodeons.

Dean Village
Just a few minutes walk from New Town’s Charlotte Square and 100 feet below the rest of the city, you’ll find an 800-year-old milling town on the Water of Leith. Enjoy a riverside walk through the village as well as lots of local color.
