Travel Tips
Edinburgh is both deeply historic and
very modern. There is a great deal of
natural beauty with striking countryside
surrounding the city. One of most impressive
features is Arthur’s Seat, an extinct
volcano and the supposed site of Camelot. It
also offers plenty of culture; it was named
the first UNESCO city of literature, it
includes Holyrood Palace which is the
Queen’s residence in Scotland, and it
contains three Scottish National Galleries.
For those looking for great food and drink
there are a wide range of award-winning
restaurants and bars.
Note:
1. The details of conference venue will be
announced soon.
2. The organizing committee will not provide
accommodation for the delegates.
With over sixty galleries, six major
performing art theatres and a host of
wide-ranging visitor attractions, there
really is something for everyone in this
vibrant and culturally-diverse city. Art,
music, architecture, theatre, history,
crafts… all aspects of cultural life are
here!
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are
designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Visitors can take an informative guided bus
tour around the city or, if time allows,
enjoy exploring it on foot, discovering the
winding alleyways of the medieval city and
the spacious crescents and terraces of the
Georgian New Town.
