Historic Holiday Apartments in Old Town

Unsurprisingly, the Old Town in Edinburgh is the most ancient part of the city and it is a pure delight to walk through its narrow streets lined with historic buildings. So precious are the buildings in the Old Town, the area is now listed as a World Heritage Site. Rent a holiday apartment in Old Town and you truly will be surrounding yourself with fascinating history. The most imposing presence here is the mighty Edinburgh Castle, which sits atop an extinct volcanic rock, forever watching over the Old Town below. Running along from Edinburgh Castle is the Royal Mile which travels through the Old Town until it reaches Holyrood Palace, the official residence of the Queen when visiting Scotland. With so many buildings of historic interest, the major shopping areas around Princes Street and, of course, the myriad of festivals which take place here throughout the year, it is no wonder that the city of Edinburgh is visited by so many people each year.

Affordable Holiday Accommodation in Old Town

In addition to apartments in Old Town, 9flats also has accommodation throughout other areas of the great city of Edinburgh. This includes holiday apartments in Abbeyhill. Abbeyhill is home to the new Scottish Parliament building and other buildings of historic interest. This area of the city tends to be a little quieter, so is perhaps better suited to those who wish to have a retreat from the hustle and bustle of other parts of Edinburgh.
