A place I’d always visit again. I’m romanticized. Narrow
paved alleys, traditional cottages with pretty bays, pointed roofs and smoking
chimneys, cosy pubs with live music and grass so green – pick nick must be an experience!
Edinburgh is a wonderful place to visit by foot and Princes Street is what you
might call a shopping paradise. Edinburgh Castle located on a hill is
definitely worth visiting as it is not only hosting an interesting exhibition,
but also offers a dramatic view over the whole city, the ocean and the
mountains. Ocean and heaven are equally within one’s reach and the city seems
to be stuck somewhere between middle age and modern present. But my highlight
was another place: Calton Hill. Probably the most beautiful place within a city
I’ve ever been to. Located right between blue ocean and mountains this place looks
over the city’s roofs. And my boyfriend still talks about that one burger in
the old little pub he enjoyed that much. I still talk about that one city. My
Edinburgh. Which city impressed you that much?
I have not seen that much cities or countries until now, but Dublin or rather Ireland has impressed me that much. I spent 4 weeks there and when reading your describtion of Edinburgh it reminds me very much of Dublin. On the one hand they also have those narrow alleys escpecially in the pub district - but on the other hand they also have those wide and public spaces. I kind of like this clash, mixing tradition with modern. When you leave the capital and explore the countryside you will be immediately mesmerized by the beautiful landscape. Gosh, writing about this makes me itchy feet. I think I'll have to go there again next year. Once you spend a long time in a country abroad, you always leave part of yourself behind.
