Edinburgh is a beautiful and historic city that attracts thousands of visitors every year.
People go there for its history, its culture, its entertainment and sometimes for business.
If you are going there for business you may well be visiting an Edinburgh conference centre of which there are a few very well equipped ones.
Whether you are going for business or pleasure you should use it as an opportunity to really explore the place, because there is an awful lot to see.
• History As Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland it inevitably has a lot of history within its domain.
If you are a history buff and you are in the city you won't be able to resist, or miss (as it is in the city centre), Edinburgh castle.
The oldest part of the structure dates back to the 12th century and additions were built onto the castle by monarchs throughout the ages such as James IV who had the Great Hall erected in 1510.
The castle is a world heritage site and a tour of it is an enlightening historical journey.
• Entertainment After a day strolling around the old town or the city you will probably be in need of a refreshing beverage and some food, and Edinburgh will not disappoint in this area.
There are numerous restaurants with an 'Eat Scotland Award' which is a commendation rather than a surreal instruction.
There are also numerous bars and pubs where you can sample the local whiskey or just as easily get a flashy cocktail.
• Culture If you end up in Edinburgh in the summer you absolutely must go to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Stretching across the month of August the Fringe is the world's largest arts festival with over 32,000 performances and over 2,000 different shows.
Everyone from seasoned stand-ups to fledgling comics appear throughout this month and it is one of the city's biggest attractions, and for good reason.
Whatever the reason for your visit take the time to look around - you won't regret it.
