Edinburgh do kapsy - Lonely Planet (2026)

This pocket guide to Edinburgh explains the appeal of Scotland’s capital, a city that attracts romantic souls and enthusiastic photographers with its stone buildings, sense of timelessness and vibrant life. Framed by an extinct volcano, rolling hills and the North Sea coast, Edinburgh combines rich history and culture with castles, fresh modern galleries and an enviable arts festival. The guide leads you to the major sights and beyond the usual tourist paths, whether you want to climb Arthur’s Seat, travel back in time at Edinburgh Castle, have a picnic in Princes Street Gardens or hear ghost stories at Real Mary King’s Close. Designed for a short holiday or weekend trip, it describes the main attractions, suggested routes and local secrets, and includes neighbourhood maps, walking tours and three-day itineraries, as well as tips on where to eat, drink, shop and enjoy yourself like a local. It also contains independent recommendations from experts who know the city best and a separate fold-out map of central Edinburgh showing the main sights. The contents are in Czech.
