Edinburgh in my Travel Wishlist 2013

2012 has been a blessed and fulfilling year for me. I have so many things to be thankful of. It is so far the most-traveled year I have in history.  We are in the middle of  2013 now and I believed this is another fulfilling year for me with more travels and trips in many parts of the globe especially in Europe. Included in my travel wishlist for 2013  is to visit Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland.

Everything must be planned when I will visit Edinburgh this year including the top sights that I will be seeing, the place  I will be staying, travel tips and guides and other helpful information about this city.

There are a lot of things to experience when visiting Scotland's capital city. Top sights and landmarks include the Edinburgh Castle, Mary King's Close, the Scottish Parliament, Abbey and Palace of Holyroodhouse, Gladstone's Land, Royal Botanic Garden and many more. Worth to see museums and galleries in Edinburgh are the Museum of Scotland, Royal Museum, the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Fruitmarket Gallery.

For those who love shopping, don't miss to visit Princes Street which is the main shopping area in the city centre. If you want to shop to a large number of upmarket chains and independent stores George street is the perfect one for you.

I can't wait to spend one of those memorable Edinburgh holidays this year. I am quite sure this will be a trip full of wonderful experiences. Visiting this city will surely bring a lot of fun and excitement to every guest and tourist like me.

Hello my Friend! :)

What a nice think to go to UK :) And espcialy to Scotland. I hope someday I will have that chance too.

Let me ask you something, I haven't understand one point: do you go regularly to Edinburgh?

My best wish for the rest of 2013 and for 2014, I hope you will be able to travel even more this next year!

I haven't so much time to comment more often.. I am even late on my own article writing... But I motivate myself because I plan a great trip in central europe at the end of summer.

Let me know when you will see Tallinn :) The cutest city in the world!

Hello my dear blogger friend Guillaume! Nice to hear from you again! I actually did not visited Edinburgh yet. It is in my travel wishlist for this year.

I have been to UK in 2008 like in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Windsor, Leeds, York, Harrogate, Stratford Upon Avon....aaah i'm trying to remember other places..lolz...

I wish to visit Edinburgh soon and hope you too! I will be in Tallinn on August 1..and will celebrate my birthday in Stockholm..

of course, i have the same wishes for you, to travel and see places from time to time. I know you are also busy since i believed you are still going to university. That is good choice for a good future.

Blogging requires time and thinking..with some of the blogs i maintain, i also find it difficult but blogging is my passion now so i have to go on sharing my experiences.

I wish you all the best of everything and more travels to you too!
