In its narrow lanes and "closes" are to be found museums, galleries, craft shops etc. There are surprises round every corner —— especially if you go on an organized Ghost Tour, which winds down some unfrequented alleys and encounters strange characters from the past …… The best way to see Edinburgh is simply to walk about. The main attractions are very central: for a quick orientation tour, two companies operate open-top buses. A stroll down Princes Street, and youre in the New Town. Scotlands national treasures are housed in the citys museums and galleries, and there is a rich program of special exhibitions and events throughout the year. Edinburgh first laid its claim to the title "city of culture" in the late 18th century, when it was known as "The Athens of the North" and acknowledged to be the driving force behind European Enlightenment. Shortly after World War II the claim was revived —— and it is repeated every August —— when the city plays host to the largest festival of the Arts in the world, the Edinburgh Festival.
