Day 2
🌇 Today will be a walking day but first a good breakfast. A restaurant we found on our way to Calton Hill was the Dishroom.
Price: 💲💲
When completely filled up for a hike go to Calton Hill to enjoy a nice view of the city an dvisit some monuments.
From here it is quite a walk to Arthur's Seat. Once down at the bottom of the mountain it is a 45 minute climb to the top. Even though it is a though walk the view will be worth it.
🏙️ On the way back from the mountain to the Old Town you pass the Scottish Parliment Building and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. With a bit of luck you will see the chance of the guards. You are able to visit the Parliament building and if you like can sit in on some debates.
The rest of the afternoon can be spend best in the Old Town of Edinburgh. A lot of beautiful buildings and nice stores. There also is the Writers' museum where you can learn more about three Scottish writers: Burns, Scott, and Stevens

🌃 A restaurant in the Old Town we really enjoyed was Wings. You get to order either 7 wings, chicken nuggets or potato tots with a dip. The thing is they have over 60 different dips... Next to this is the restaurant cool decorated and kind of under the ground.
