Holidays in Portobello

We all know travel is life. So pack your suitcase, kiss your pet hamster goodbye and get going to Portobello! A neighbourhood in Edinburgh, it's a fantastic base for discovering this amazing city's sights. Want to hang out with the locals? With around 440,000 people living in the capital of Scotland, you'll have plenty of chances. Portobello is 5 kilometres east of the centre of the city. If you're coming in from Edinburgh Airport, throw your suitcase in the back of a taxi and make your way 16 kilometres east.

With many of the city's top sights nearby, Portobello is a sightseer's paradise. From Edinburgh Castle to the Royal Yacht Britannia, you won't run out of things to keep you on the go. You should also experience Arthur's Seat and St. Giles' Cathedral. For another perspective on the city, organise a day at Joppa and Duddingston, close-by neighbourhoods that you'll love exploring.

Of course, one of the first stops to make is Palace of Holyroodhouse. This famed attraction is situated just 4 kilometres west of Portobello.

There are countless reasons why so many people throng to the centre of Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh and Scottish Parliament are just a couple of them. The Edinburgh Zoo and the National Museum of Scotland are two more of the area's biggest draws.

Need a break from the kids? Look up a babysitter and head out to Greyfriar's Bobby, Vietnam House Art Gallery and Canongate Tolbooth.

The area's cultural places, such as the National Gallery of Scotland, the Fruitmarket Gallery, the Talbot Rice Gallery and the City Art Centre, have to be seen!

If you find yourself stuck in some wet weather, take refuge in the Our Dynamic Earth, the Scotch Whisky Experience, the Museum of Childhood and the National War Museum. The captivating collections will be sure to keep your mind active and your body dry!

What better way to finish a day's activities than with a meal and a performance? Check the programme guides at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Festival Theatre and the King's Theatre.

The greens of the Duddingston Golf Club, the Melville Golf Centre, the Bruntsfield Links Short Hole Golf Course and the Craigmillar Park Golf Club are calling. Hone your swing, play a friendly round with the locals and try to shave some strokes off your score.

Often kids can have fun in the most unusual locations. Indulge them with visits to the National Library of Scotland, Omni Centre Edinburgh and the Dominion Cinema.

Are you holidaying with the little ones but have run out of ideas of things for them to do? Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Gambado, Blackford Hill and The Braid Hills are some local places they're guaranteed to love.

Nothing soothes the mind like the sights, sounds and smells of nature. Get a taste of it at Calton Hill, Holyrood Park, Morrisons Haven and Gilmerton Cove.

Pack a tasty picnic and gather some friends to have a chat in one of the vibrant urban parks nearby. Take your pick from Princes Street Gardens, The Meadows, Dalkeith Country Park and Leith Links.

The shopping experience is different for everyone. Whether you know what you're after or just after some retail therapy, you'll love your time at The Hub, Princes Mall, Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre and Geoffrey Kiltmakers and Weavers.

You never know what you might find at Greyfriars Kirk, the Scott Monument, Real Mary King's Close and Gladstone's Land. These time-weathered places have plenty of stories to tell.

Learn more about the region's spiritual dimensions at St. Mary's Episcopal Cathederal, St. Stephens Centre, Robin Chapel and St. Margaret's Chapel. These attractions are worth visiting whether you're religious or not.

Whether you root for a particular team or just want to feel the electric atmosphere, don't miss the opportunity to grab tickets to a game at Meadowbank Stadium. Don't be afraid to join in any songs, chants or Mexican waves that happen while you're there, especially if local heroes the Edinburgh City F.C. or the Leith Athletic F.C. are playing!
