Capital of Scotland, Edinburgh has lots to offer from fancy restaurants to high street stores there is countless opportunities awaiting. One of the main reasons I travelled to Edinburgh was to spend the weekend with one of my friends who was living over there for university which also saved me money on accommodation as I stayed with her meaning I only had to pay for flights which was super handy and cheap!






Top Restaurants in Edinburgh?

1.     Papii Edinburgh -Based in the new town 0.4 miles from Royal Mile Papii has an extensive menu for breakfast time from waffles to eggs benedict you couldn’t go wrong, it’s amazing quality for their price points also so you couldn’t go wrong! Id recommend going early though as it gets busy fast!

2.     Tattu Edinburgh –  Ideal for lunch Tattu is the fanciest Chinese ever with the most amazing cocktails, covered in flower walls its perfect for photo opportunities also, its located in the centre of Edinburgh so ideal after a day of shopping but I’d recommend pre-booking, this option allows you to book lunch deals at a cheaper rate also!

3.     Miller and Carter– Perfect for dinner and cocktails and located just 0.3 miles from Edinburgh castle this steakhouse is not to be missed out on while visiting the city with its wide variety of options you will find something to suit everyone. Known for the best steak ever id highly recommend, but do book ahead as its always so busy. They also cater for Vegetarians and offer gluten-free options!






Things to do In Edinburgh?

1.     Shop – Edinburgh has loads of household name stores available in the city centre which isn’t ideal with a hand luggage case but always worth it.
2.     Drink – Edinburgh is known for its cute and quirky pubs and is ideal for a daytime pub crawl as if you’re staying outside of the centre you can just jump on the tram! Nightlife in Edinburgh is also not to be missed they have loads of nightclubs available to suit all different types of people! (Definitely wrap up warm tho as its always absolutely freezing!)
3.     Edinburgh Zoo – An unforgettable day out with family or friends where you can visit the UK’s only giant panda’s and take in all that Scotland has to offer, id recommend pre-booking to save the queueing times and usually there is a discount.

Visiting Dubai has always been a dream of mine, ever since I was little I would always hear my parents talk about how amazing it was, even if they were just there for business! 25th December 2018, my dream came true! I received a holiday to Dubai for my Christmas present ( the best one I've ever received, nothing will ever top it!) Getting there? On 30 th May 2019 we flew from Dublin - Dubai, just standard class and it was honestly amazing; the Emirates staff couldn’t have done more for us and we had purchased the two seats stand alone, this meant we had larger seats with more room towards the back of the plane which I found essential for a 7 hour 30 minute flight, definitely make sure to bring comfy clothes, socks and a pillow because sleep is essential, they have movies and music available throughout their ice software which made the flight fly in. The food was amazing and included in the price of the flight. The flight attendants really couldn’t ha

Following my younger sister's exams, we wanted to book a trip away for her and her friend to celebrate leaving school and to make some fun memories before she moved away to Liverpool for University and what better place than Albuferia known for its beautiful beaches and hot summers... We had booked it throughout Thomas Cook ( when it still existed). It was around £180 for 3 days flights and a hotel which we were over the moon about! I’ve never been to Portugal before but had heard a lot about it so I was super excited to tick another place off my bucket list. We went in the peak of the summer months when It was super warm, we flew out with easy jet on the 22 nd  August until the 25 th  August. Where to stay? We stayed in Quinta Pedra Dos Bicos, Albuferia it was a 4 star and we stayed in an apartment self-catering which had everything we needed and it was super spacious, it was also very close to the beach too which was handy
