Edinburgh Attractions
Edinburgh, Scotland's inspiring capital, is a city of contrasts - where
the lofty tenements and winding closes of Old Town make way to the grace
and elegance of the Georgian New Town.
With Edinburgh Castle dominating the skyline, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers the perfect balance of all things traditional and contemporary. Discover world-class museums and galleries, take a walking tour on an open-top bus or even visit the city's own zoo. From the world famous festivals to fabulous shopping, you'll be spoilt for choice.
No matter how high your expectations, Edinburgh will surpass them. It really is one of Europe's most stunning and vibrant cities; the castle, the gardens, the royal palace might be the city's icons, but there's so much more to discover.
In fact, there are thousands of things to do in this city. We've taken a very Apex approach to the whole affair, and only selected the very best in our top ten Edinburgh attractions.
Edinburgh Castle
Towering over the city and dominating the skyline, the instantly recognizable
Edinburgh Castle is a powerful Scottish symbol. Learn all about this historic
landmark with the daily guided tours, view the Scottish crown jewels,
and see the 1 o'clock cannon being fired.
City Sightseeing Tours
Edinburgh's 'hop on, hop off' open top bus tours offer an ideal way to
see all the sights of the Scottish capital. Tickets are valid for 24 hours,
so they are perfect if you only have a day or two to spend in the city.
Holyrood Palace & The Scottish Parliament
You've seen the Castle? Well at the other end of the Royal Mile you'll
find Holyrood Palace, which is the Queen's Official Residence in Edinburgh.
And just opposite, you'll find it impossible to miss the Scottish Parliament.
There's no denying this is one of the most impressive modern buildings
in Europe.
Royal Yacht Britannia
From Queen Elizabeth II to Sir Winston Churchill, some of the world’s
most famous and influential people have been welcomed aboard this magnificent
ship. Now it's your turn to discover the splendour of this royal residence.
Edinburgh Dungeons
At the other end of the attraction spectrum, is the infinitely more blood-curdling
Edinburgh Dungeon. Did you know one solution to the plague was simply
to build over infected areas? Now you can discover what lurks within and
beneath.
The Real Mary King's Close
Beneath the Royal Mile lies Edinburgh's deepest secret - a warren of hidden
streets where real people lived, worked and died. For centuries they have
lain abandoned and forgotten.... until now! Step back in time on a tour
of Mary King's Close and witness 17th century life- and afterlife- in
plague ridden Edinburgh.
Our Dynamic Earth
If the weather isn't looking great, then another sure-fire hit is Dynamic
Earth, which is a Tyrannosaurus-hop from the new Scottish Parliament.
The whole family will take a journey through Earth's history from the
dawn of time, with plenty of interactive fun to keep the kids well-and-truly
happy.
Camera Obscura
View the city from a different angle with the Camera Obscura Show, where
you'll see live moving images of Edinburgh projected onto a viewing table
through a giant periscope. Fantastic views of Edinburgh, and three galleries
packed full of optical experiences will keep you entertained.
The Scotch Whisky Experience
Take a swirling, bubbling barrel ride through a replica distillery
as you become part of the whisky making process, with expert tour guides
and whisky advisors on hand to help you discover new aromas and flavours
leading you to your perfect Single Malt Whisky.
Edinburgh Zoo
Meet over 1000 different animals in this beautiful parkland setting on
the outskirts of Edinburgh. Exciting attractions, daily events and activities
are scheduled throughout the year. The Penguin Parade is a particular
favourite amongst visitors.
DIRECTIONS
Getting there from the Information Centre:
Exit the Tourist Information Centre and turn left onto Princes Street.
Continue walking west until Lothian Road and turn left, then left again
onto Kings Stables Road, which leads into the Grassmarket.
Getting There by Car:
The simplest way to find the hotel is to head towards Princes Street,
Edinburgh’s main shopping street. Once at the west end of Princes
Street near House of Frasers Department store turn south into Lothian
Road. Once on Lothian Road make the 1st left turn into King Stable Road.
Follow this road straight along and you will arrive in the Grassmarket where the Apex City will be on the right hand side of the road.
Getting There by Railway:
Waverley station sits below Princes Street on the opposite side of the
castle from the Grassmarket. It is a 10 minute walk to the Hotel, however
with the climb over a hill we would suggest catching a taxi from any of
the taxi ranks within or around the station.
Getting there by Aeroplane:
There are a number of options to arrive in Edinburgh from the Airport
either by taxi, by Airport Link double decked bus to the city centre or
by Airport Shuttle bus which will stop at the hotel.
