Explore Edinburgh on Foot
It's easy to experience Edinburgh by walking. The iconic Castle Rock, located in the historic part of the city, is a must-visit for first-time travelers. Be sure to stroll down to Grassmarket, a central square teeming with pubs, restaurants, and charming shops. Along the Royal Mile, stretching from Edinburgh Castle to The Palace of Holyroodhouse, you’ll find attractions like St Giles Cathedral with its beautiful little Thistle Chapel.
Relax with a Good Pint
A truly good beer and local music greatly enhance the atmosphere of the city. In Edinburgh, you have a variety of pubs to choose from where the mood is lively. If you're looking to dress up and reserve a table, which is recommended, you’ve come to the right place. Edinburgh is known for having more restaurants per capita than any other city in the UK. You'll find traditional pubs and restaurants across various price ranges, especially in the old town.
Travel with Great Shopping
There are plenty of shops in the city. On Princes Street, you'll find a multitude of clothing stores, and the historic Jenners, with its 100 departments, has been a classic since 1838.
Beautiful Scenery
If you're on a road trip, take the opportunity to explore the countryside. Quaint villages and dramatic landscapes await you. It takes about an hour by car to get to Glasgow, but if you prefer not to drive, the train service is both quick and convenient.
