Fly to Edinburgh

The capital city of Scotland is one of the cases where the capital of the country doesn´t matches the largest city of the nation. But that says nothing about it. The cultural and historic heritage in this case is more than enough to explain the choice. The city center is a collection of medieval buildings, a feast to people who are into history. Especially the magnificent Scott Monument, a Victorian Gothic building in honor to Sir Walter Scott, Scotland´s major reference regarding literature. The new part of town came as a solution to the industrial era development due to the old town becoming over crowed. Edinburgh International Airport has a long history being nearly 100 years old. The first facilities were built during World War I, strategically referenced as the base situated most to the north of United Kingdom. Nowadays it is operating on a 9 million passenger base and it is projected that by 2020 It will reach 20 million passengers. Being an airport of a capital city, it isn´t mainly designed for the lowest fares, although some low cost companies operate there. If you are thinking that it might be an interesting city but you are not really into cold weather, think again because Edinburgh has a temperate maritime climate. None the less it is reported to be very raining with an average of 182 days per year of raining, so 50/50 chances of needing to use an umbrella during your stay. Don´t think too much on deciding to go to Edinburgh, just get your ticket and go, especially in summer time with the enormous Edinburgh Festival, the largest arts festival in the world, all for all tastes, music, dance, theatre and Opera, never a dull day during the summer, and perfect for a cultural and fun holidays, with art by day and pub strolling by night.
