Let’s find travel activities in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a hilly city but it is a good city to visit on foot. You can
visit some places such as Edinburgh castle and the Old Town.

You can look at the shops on the Royal Mile or on Princes Street in
the New Town. Near Princes Street is Charlotte Square, which is
very beautiful. You can also go to the National Gallery of Scotland,
with pictures from Scotland and from many other countries to.

In August, you can visit the Edinburgh Festival, the biggest arts
festival in the world with hundreds of different things to do and see.

Hey Mariah! I’m visiting Santiago for the first time in July, and I have so many
questions! Which neighborhood would you recommend I stay in? what are the
best museums in the city? I love history, so I’d definitely love to go a few
museums.

Experiencing Chilean cuisine is really important to me, so I’d appreciate

restaurant suggestions as well. What are the tourist attractions in the city that I
definitely shouldn’t miss? Is Santiago an expensive city? What will be the weather
like in July? Thank you so much for the advice!

 Let’s find some expressions of giving recommendations or
advice!
Hey, Sarah! That’s so exciting that you’re visiting Santiago. Santiago has so
many great neighborhoods. If you want a lively, party experience, I would
definitely recommend staying in Bella Vista. It’s not a peaceful neighborhood,
but it’s a good place to meet other travelers and have a good time.
If you want a quieter experience, you should consider staying in Barrio
Lastarria. It’s near the city center, and it’s an artsy neighborhood with a lot of
bars and cafes. I would also highly recommend visiting the Museum of
Human Rights. It has so much important information about Chile’s history.
Santiago also has a restaurant with a fantastic wine selection and excellent
food. You should eat at Bocanariz in Lastarria. Don’t miss climbing Cerro San
Cristobal or exploring the market, La Vega.
Unfortunately, Santiago is a pretty expensive city. However, you could go to
free attractions and book a hostel with a kitchen so you can cook! It’s going
to be cold in July, so you definitely have to bring warm clothes.
