So, what’s next, you ask? And we have an extraordinary answer – Edinburgh, Scotland for the 2023 Summit All Star trip! This historic city, and the capital of Scotland, is a city that begs to be discovered. Filled with quirky, come-hither nooks that tempt you to explore just that and a little bit further afield.
Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, draped across a series of rocky hills overlooking the sea. It’s a town intimately entwined with its landscape, with buildings and monuments perched atop crags and overshadowed by cliffs. From the Old Town’s picturesque jumble of medieval tenements piled high along the Royal Mile, its turreted skyline strung between the black, bull-nosed Castle Rock and the russet palisade of Salisbury Crags, to the New Town’s neat grid of neoclassical respectability, the city offers a constantly changing perspective.
The Athens of the North, an 18th-century Edinburgh nickname dreamed up by the great thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, is a city of high culture and lofty ideals, of art and literature, philosophy and science. It is here that each summer the world’s biggest arts festival rises, phoenix-like, from the ashes of last year’s rave reviews and broken box-office records to produce yet another string of superlatives. And it is here, beneath the Greek temples of Calton Hill – Edinburgh’s acropolis – that the Scottish parliament sits again after a 300-year absence. It is also here that our Summit All Stars will have the amazing opportunity to see it all.
Edinburgh is also known as Auld Reekie, a down-to-earth place that flicks an impudent finger at the pretensions of the literati. Auld Reekie is a city of loud, crowded pubs and decadent restaurants, late-night bars and all-night entertainment. It’s the city that tempted Robert Louis Stevenson from his law lectures to explore the dens and street life of the 19th-century Old Town.

It is a very walkable city but there are a few high spots that demand agility. However, the trek to the castle is worth every step. The Royal Mile is a stretch of four ancient streets that speak to the medieval splendor of Edinburgh’s past.
You’ll be treated to a host of experiences that include many Scottish favorites: the tartan shops, Scotch whisky, shortbread biscuits that melt in your mouth, and lively entertainment.
