Added: 03/16/2006

When looking for an ideal destination for your Easter short break, choose Scotland! The country that is steeped in history and culture, embodied in its stunning architecture, numerous festivals and events and great friendly atmosphere. You can't help being amazed at a wide variety of options the country has to offer, ranging from some of the best spas in Europe to exclusive shops that even Paris can envy, not to mention plentiful museums, theatres and art galleries.

For most visitors, an Easter short break to Scotland is associated with a trip to its capital city Edinburgh, famous for its beauty and rich cultural heritage. It is here that you can enjoy spectacular views from top of the Arthur's Seat or take in the elegance of the city's Georgian New Town, take a stroll through the Scottish Royal Academy or sit atop wonderful Carlton Hill and enjoy views of the Highlands.

One of the greatest options, Hospitality Line arranges a variety of exciting packages, allowing you to indulge in a two-night Easter short break in the country and watch the fascinating Parade on Easter Sunday, in addition to an array of shopping and sightseeing opportunities. The price of such Easer weekend break, available for the period of 14 April - 17 April 2006, generally ranges from $220 per person for two nights. Included in the price is luxury accommodation in the suite, two-course dinner served either at the Restaurant at the Bonham or in your suite, full Scottish breakfast each morning and Easter gift.
A definite must-see during your Easter short break in Edinburgh is the Edinburgh Easter Parade -- a glorious event for the great city, attracting huge crowds of visitors from all over the world and capturing imagination of the people of Scotland, city officials and media. When this one of the most magnificent shows on the planet moves through the city center, it embraces a sense of history and adventure with laughter and music filling the air. If combined with sightseeing and shopping, the Edinburgh Easter Parade offers unique and memorable holiday experience.

Possibly the greatest option for your stay in the city during Easter celebrations, Fountain Court offers a fantastic family Easter short break in Edinburgh with some of the city's greatest hotels.

Easter is the ideal time to take advantage of all opportunities that Edinburgh has to offer, from an array of art galleries, museums and theaters to the stunning Easter Parade and other events of cultural and historic importance. The green alley Princes Street Gardens divides the historic center of the city into two parts. While the south part is dominated by Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town, the north hosts the New Town and Princes Street. Possibly the most conspicuous building in the city center is the large sandstone building - the Edinburgh International Conference Center. Some of the greatest attractions include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, St Giles' Cathedral, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk just to name a few.
