Hertz Car Rental in Edinburgh
The United Kingdom comprises traditional nations with some degree of autonomy. In the north, Scotland is proudly semi-independent of the control of London. It has its own capital city, Edinburgh. This is home to the Scottish Parliament and has a very different atmosphere to London, 414 miles south. If you rent a car in Edinburgh you’ll be able to tour the city easily, it has a relaxed, cultured feel. Much of the city centre is old and the layout of streets is ancient. The city stands on the south side of the Firth of Forth, a large inlet on Scotland’s west coast.
Edinburgh is a very popular visitor destination, thanks to its reputation for culture, history and colourful events like the Festival and the Hogmanay New Year celebrations. If you have a rental car in Edinburgh, you’ll find it’s quite a compact city leading back from a waterfront on the Firth of Forth. The main sights are a short drive south, clustered around the imposing hilltop castle which overlooks the central Princes Street Gardens. It’s a hilly city and another volcanic mound called Arthur’s Seat is a popular spot for a stroll. Other highlights include the Royal Yacht Britannia, formerly the Queen’s private yacht, which is now an attraction on the Edinburgh waterfront.
