0:00: intro & why you should trust this travel Youtuber
0:32 *SCOTLAND* 🏴
Edinburgh's medieval Old Town feels like stepping into a fantasy world with its winding cobblestone streets and towering castle. But the real magic lies in the Scottish Highlands - think crystal-clear Fairy Pools and the dramatic Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye.

2:57 *COPENHAGEN* 🇩🇰
Denmark's capital is pure magic in summer! The clean harbour transforms into a city-wide swimming pool with locals diving in at spots like Islands Brygge, while the endless daylight means the fun never stops.
