Holidays in West End

Do you open every travel deal that drops into your inbox? Find yourself jealously stalking travel hashtags? It's time for an escape and West End, a neighbourhood in Edinburgh, is shouting your name. The capital of Scotland is home to around 440,000 people and the perfect place to really experience the nation's culture and history. From Edinburgh Airport, West End is about 9 kilometres to the east. If you're making your way from the city centre, the suburb is 1 kilometre to the southwest.

West End is heaven on earth for sightseers. A good number of the city's attractions are strewn near this neighbourhood, including Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Yacht Britannia. After taking a look at those, you're going to want to head onwards to Arthur's Seat and St. Giles' Cathedral. While you're in town, consider going to other neighbourhoods to experience more of what Edinburgh offers. Haymarket and Dalry are good recommendations that are a short distance away.

Just can't wait to feast your eyes on Palace of Holyroodhouse? Located just 3 kilometres to the east, it'll be a breeze reaching this leading sight from West End.

Need some advice on things to do in the centre of the city? Start by feasting your eyes on the University of Edinburgh and Scottish Parliament. Alternatively, have a wander around the Edinburgh Zoo and the National Museum of Scotland.

Travelling without the kids in tow? Greyfriar's Bobby, Vietnam House Art Gallery and Canongate Tolbooth should be at the top of your plan.

Discover more about the cultural scene at the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Fruitmarket Gallery and the Talbot Rice Gallery.

Look closely into the glass cabinets and find out more about the objects on display as you meander through the fascinating collections of the Our Dynamic Earth, the Scotch Whisky Experience, the Museum of Childhood and the National War Museum.

You can't beat the buzz of excitement when a show is due to start. Take your seat and watch the curtains rise at the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Festival Theatre and the King's Theatre.

The fairways of the Braid Hills Golf Course, the Bruntsfield Links Golf Course, the Royal Burgess Golf Course and the Mortonhall Golf Course are calling. Practise your putt, challenge some friends to a few rounds and try to knock some strokes off your scorecard.

Kids can be fantastic travel buddies, particularly if you take them to the right places! For a memorable family day out, take a trip to the National Library of Scotland, Omni Centre Edinburgh and the Dominion Cinema.

Young ones can become disgruntled with sightseeing. Fire them up with a few hours at one of the local area's action-packed family attractions. Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Gambado, Blackford Hill and The Braid Hills are some of the most popular choices.

Head outside and take in the vistas at Calton Hill, Holyrood Park, Gilmerton Cove and Water of Leith Visitor Centre.

Prepare a picnic and invite a couple of friends down to have a laugh in one of the lively green spaces nearby. You have a number of options, including Princes Street Gardens, The Meadows and Leith Links.

A trip away is a splendid opportunity to do some window shopping and grab yourself a few treats. Don't forget to swing by The Hub, Gyle Shopping Centre, Princes Mall and Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre!

Make your way over for an intriguing history lesson at Greyfriars Kirk, the Scott Monument, Real Mary King's Close and Gladstone's Land. Reading about them in a textbook simply can't compare!

Places of worship such as St. Mary's Episcopal Cathederal, St. Stephens Centre, Robin Chapel and St. Margaret's Chapel can give you a greater understanding of the region. Immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere and take a little time to ponder.

If you're a fan of messing around in the snow, head to Midlothian Snowsports Centre and Midlothian Ski Centre. You can be sure it'll be cold, so make sure you're equipped with lots of woolly gloves and socks!

No trip here is complete without going to Murrayfield Stadium, home to the Scotland National Rugby and Edinburgh Rugby. If it's game day while you're here, dress in your team's colours and prepare to enthusiastically cheer them on.
