Explore the campuses of the University of Edinburgh and soak up the academic atmosphere in its museums and galleries. Sights such as the quad of the Georgian Old College and the Gothic towers of New College on the Mound are iconic parts of the cityscape. Visit the university, which was established in 1583 and has been at the cutting edge of academia ever since. The Higgs boson particle, Dolly the Sheep and the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle all have their origins here in its halls. Learn about niche areas of study in the university's museums. See Renaissance flutes and a Nepali bowed lute in the Musical Instrument Museum or examine life masks in the Anatomical Museum, both of which have limited opening hours. The Natural History Collections and the Cockburn Geological Museum present research from their respective departments and are available for public viewing by appointment. The Talbot Rice Gallery, the university's main gallery, features a permanent collection of contemporary art as well as visiting exhibitions. Discover the artists of the future at rooms displaying the work of students at Edinburgh College of Art. Works from across different disciplines are regularly presented for the public in the college's maze of halls and corridors. Ponder life's big questions with intellectuals at one of the university's public lectures. Researchers and academics share or debate their thoughts in venues including George Square Lecture Theatre. Topics are wide ranging, covering anything from sustainable development to the life of women under the Romans. Visit the University of Edinburgh in August and experience the unique atmosphere of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A month of comedy and art, with hundreds of performers taking over the city, uses the student union buildings to stage shows. Laugh for hours at some of the best comedians in the country or experiment with daring theatre and acrobatics. The University of Edinburgh is spread over different campuses linked by the Lothian Buses network. Book in advance for some of the museums and lectures since demand is great. ## Plan a trip to see University of Edinburgh Price found within the past 48 hours.

(4 reviews) The apartment is very small and a bit far from the center, you need a car or a bus to reach it. The hall is narrow and the bathroom is small, one bedroom is small and barely fits a double bed. There is a hanging bed but it is not equipped and the ladder is broken. The apartment is clean and the kitchen is good but the sheets are worn out. The apartment only fits two people, contrary to what is written that it fits four, but there is no sofa bed, even just a sofa in the hall Reviewed on Aug 6, 2025 [](https://expedia.ca/go/package/search/FlightHotel/2025-11-29/2025-12-04/?FromAirport=YTO&Destination=EDI&NumRoom=1&NumAdult=2&NumChild=0&hotelId=32116701&paandie=true&dealMarker=BRYVfMkd0iQ8mDytnrsevA84inIdTgYHCneeyCHG8Zf3G8Fvquo_TLzJJfpGB-1a) ![Rusacks St Andrews](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/21500/21486/f52aa744_y.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) ### Rusacks St Andrews CA $2,147 per person Nov 5 - Nov 11 found 16 hours ago Roundtrip flight included Toronto (YTO) to Edinburgh (EDI) 9.4/10 Exceptional!
