General presentation
Fife et St Andrews
Soft east coast, university town, golf, fishing villages and easy heritage from Edinburgh.
The discovery of Fife and St Andrews revolves around St Andrews, Falkland Palace and East Neuk. The stay thus alternates between the coast, the heritage and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: wind on the coast and St Andrews very much in demand. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Historical city
St Andrews
St Andrews mixes ancient university, religious ruins, elegant streets and golf links facing the sea. The city is discovered very well on foot, passing from courtyards and stone facades to open beaches, with an atmosphere at the same time learned and littoral.
Palace
Falkland Palace
Falkland Palace brings a Renaissance note to the heart of a particularly well-kept Fife village. The facades, gardens and ties with the kings of Scotland give a visit more refined than military, ideal for a quiet heritage break.
Cotier village
Elie et East Neuk
Elie and the East Neuk chain small ports, beaches, low houses and alleys facing the sea. The area is savored by fragments, stopping in villages, on the docks or along the coastal path when the light becomes softer.
