The Neighborhood:
The Old Town of Edinburgh will undoubtedly be your first point of call when visiting the city. This is the oldest area of Edinburgh, where the city was first built, and remains the heart of Edinburgh.
All around, you will see the tall buildings and narrow alleyways, which are the remnants of vast overcrowding in the past. You should head to Calton Hill for one of the best views of the eclectic Old Town, where you can capture some of the most iconic photos of Edinburgh’s skyline.
The Royal Mile (seconds from the property) has been the main street of Edinburgh for centuries, and definitely shouldn’t be missed. Its name comes from the two royal residences located at either end of the street, Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, and its length, which is approximately one Scottish mile.
You won’t run out of things to see and do, as here you can find numerous cafes, restaurants, and gift shops, and you can join walking tours of the city: the Edinburgh Free Tour, focussing on the traditional history and major landmarks, and the Free Ghost Tour, which explores the darker, more gruesome parts of the city’s history.
You can see many of the city’s most important landmarks in the Old Town, such as St Giles’ Cathedral, a notable Church of Scotland building, with stunning architecture to marvel at, and a fascinating history to uncover.
Other interesting sights you might like to visit include the Scottish Parliament building, and the Mercat Cross. Or, you can spend some time exploring the many closes (alleys) leading off the Royal Mile, many of which hide some fascinating parts of the Old Town.
You can also find many of Edinburgh’s best museums in the historic Old Town, where you can learn about an array of fascinating topics to suit all interests, including the Museum of Edinburgh, John Knox’s House, the Writers Museum, and the largest and most popular, the National Museum of Scotland, located on Chambers Street and free to visit.
You should definitely explore the Old Town at night too, as it is one of the best areas to go out in the city, with dozens of bars and clubs to choose from, many of which have live music at night too.
Other Things to Note:
-Please note there is no lift in this property and the property is on the 5th floor, therefore I would only recommend if you are fully able.
-Best location for the Fringe festival!
-Please note: It is right in the centre near the royal mile, and sometimes noisy, also located above a comedy club - very lively area.
We kindly request that you read the house rules prior to booking and respect them during your stay. Parties or events of any kind will not be tolerated. Violation of this rule will result in eviction from the property and charges for any damages or additional cleaning required. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
