Car Rental Edinburgh

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, has such a unique atmosphere that simply taking a drive through the city in your car rental from Thrifty Car Rental qualifies as sightseeing. The city is packed with examples of medieval buildings sitting side by side with modern architecture and some places you are not going to want to miss are the Holyrood Palace, the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, and, of course, Edinburgh Castle.

A nice place to begin your car rental trip is Holyrood Palace, located at the end of the Royal Mile. The palace is the Queen’s official residence when she is in Scotland and is used for state ceremonies when the Queen is in attendance; otherwise it is open to the public. Also on the grounds there are the ruins of the Holyrood Abbey, which was the site of many royal events until the roof collapsed in the 18th century.

Even before you enter the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, you can see examples of the museum’s artwork. From the dramatically landscaped lawn, which was designed by an artist and is called a “landform”, to the different statues around the museum, there is something to see everywhere you look. With works from artists as varied as Picasso and Andy Warhol, you are sure to find something to make the trip in your car rental worth your time.

Edinburgh Castle is a sure hit on your tour of the city. There are many different things within the castle to see, so be sure to bring your car rental and make a day of it. Some things you will encounter are David’s Tower, Crown Square, and St. Margaret’s Chapel being only a few. With so many different places to visit, having a car rental from Thrifty Car Rental makes it easy to travel from place to place in comfort.
