Description
Sightseeing, culture, history and mystery!
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, offers an exciting blend of old and new. Sherlock Holmes and Peter Pan, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Harry Potter and Inspector Rebus - many literary characters were born in Edinburgh and have contributed to its status of literary world metropolis.
Among the most striking sights in a city full of unique and beautiful buildings is the impressive Edinburgh Castle, built on the basalt cone of an extinct volcano. Right below the castle lies the colorful old town with its narrow streets and 16th-17th century houses. The area called New Town is somewhat younger, going back to the 18th century and Georgian times. Edinburgh combines nostalgia and modern architecture - medieval, mysterious charm and effervescent modern life mingle here seamlessly. Our Edinburgh camp is a rich mixture of sightseeing and culture, Scottish history and mystery.

What our customers say
My daughter Jennifer was in Fehmarn during the first week of the 2019 summer holidays and had a wonderful time. She would have liked to stay there! Great kids and amazing camp counselors. Dave from Ireland led her group. The projects and activities were simply marvellous! According to my daughter, she developed a very good understanding of English and in a short amount of time, found it very normal to communicate in English. A huge difference compared to normal lessons in school!
