Edinburgh, a city that falls in love at first sight, dominated by its huge castle and divided between the Old Town and the New Town. Despite not being a large city, and that can be visited on a weekend, it has many places of interest among which its historic center and its parks stand out. And how could it be otherwise, you can not leave Edinburgh without having a good Scotch malt whiskey or a pint of beer in one of its lively taverns or pubs.
If you also have more days, near Edinburgh you will find incredible landscapes dotted with lakes, mountains and fairytale castles. The best way to travel them is by renting a car or on excursions of one or two days from Edinburgh, since although there is public transport, in some places it is more complicated to schedule schedules and in addition, you would need more time.
Based on the days we spent in the city on our trip to Scotland in 11 days, we have made a list of the 5 best tours and excursions in Edinburgh in Spanish.
1. Excursion to Loch Ness and the Highlands
The landscapes of the highlands or highlands, surrounded by lakes, valleys, rivers and mountains, is one of the most essential places to visit in Scotland. In the Highlands, near the city of Inverness, is the most famous lake in Scotland and almost in the world, Loch Ness. Thanks to the legend of the monster Nessie, this deep lake with dark waters and the beautiful ruins of Urquhart Castle on one of the banks, is visited every year by thousands of tourists.
If you make a route through the Highlands for several days, we recommend above all, to spend a day visiting the Isle of Skye, our favorite place in Scotland. Near the road that crosses the Highlands to Skye, is the famous Eilean Donan fairytale castle, which has been the scene of films such as The immortals.
To get to all these places if you do not have a car or many days to do it by public transport, a good option is to book one of these tours in Edinburgh with guide in Spanish .

3. Excursion to Stirling and Saint Andrews, one of the best excursions in Edinburgh
Stirling is the gateway to the beautiful Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, full of lakes, valleys and forests. This town stands out in addition to its medieval historical center, for the impressive castle and the monument to the Scottish hero William Wallace, to whom we all put the face of Mel Gibson in the film Bravehart.
Saint Andrews is another of our favorite places in Scotland. This ancient city bathed by the sea and cradle of golf, in which the oldest field in the world is located, stands out for its famous university and the ruins of the cathedral. Stroll through its medieval old town with its cafés, markets and charming shops, to the beach where it was filmed Fire cars, is a pleasure for the senses.

4. Tour of the Ghosts and Harry Potter
Two of the most fashionable tours and excursions in Edinburgh are the Ghost Tour and the Harry Potter tour. Edinburgh, like Dublin, has many dark corners, urban legends and stories of witches, cemeteries and unsolved murders. This night ghost tour will take us to know many of these stories and the places where they happened.
The Harry Potter tour is totally different and also very exciting for fans of J. K. Rowling's books. The English writer spent a long season in Edinburgh, where she found inspiration to write her Harry Potter books. Cafeteria The Elephant House It was one of his usual places, where he wrote next to a window overlooking the Greyfriars Cemetery and Edinburgh Castle, where you can see fan inscriptions on the cafeteria walls.

5. Excursion to the castles of Dunnottar and Glamis
Dunnottar Castle is our favorite in Scotland, even above the famous Eilean Donan Castle. This medieval castle of which only some ruins remain, stands out for its location on a rocky cliff above the sea, only accessible by a narrow road and became much more famous when appearing in the film Hamlet from Mel Gibson.
Glamis Castle, from the early 15th century and known for being the place where Macbeth killed King Duncan, is another of the castles that should be visited on any route through Scotland. Unlike Dunnottar Castle, Glamis Castle is well preserved, as there have been several restorations and extensions over time, in which its exteriors with incredible gardens stand out.
