Edinburgh cultural breaks - the great museums and art galleries
Edinburgh Short Breaks - A feast of culture BOOK NOW>>
Edinburgh city breaks are particularly rewarding for lovers of art and architecture. As you would expect from a world class historic city such as Edinburgh, it has a rich heritage which is on display in the city’s numerous well stocked prized museums and art galleries, showcasing both the ancient and the modern. Where else could you gaze upon the writing desk and artefacts of Scottish literary legend Robert Burns (on show at the Writer’s Museum), go aboard the world’s only supersonic passenger plane, a full size British Airways Concorde (on show at the Museum of Flight East Lothian), understand the history of Scotland and its land (at the National Museum of Scotland), gaze upon priceless works of art (on show at the National Gallery of Scotland) or read the heart warming story of the loyal terrier ‘Greyfriars Bobby’ (at the Museum of Edinburgh) all in one city
Summer city breaks in Edinburgh are packed with cultural events, culminating in the famous Edinburgh International Festival, but Edinburgh’s reputation as a centre of European culture rests on far more than the festival alone. Visitors will find Edinburgh city breaks a cultural treat at any time of year with world class musums, art galleries and historic houses ballet, classical music, opera and dance. And younger and generation Y visitors in particular will always find plenty of live rock, folk and jazz in pubs and small music venues and plenty of lively nightlife
