New Town Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s New Town is the world’s most complete and unspoilt example of Georgian architecture and town planning; along with the Old Town, it was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1995. Princes St is one of Britain’s most spectacular shopping streets, with unbroken views of the castle, while George St is lined with designer boutiques, trendy bars and upmarket restaurants.
