Edinburgh's appeal leaves nobody aside. I reached Edinburgh to seek peace from my break-up!.. Whilst I was greeted by gloomy weather like my life at that point, the sun and people finally came out and showed me a good time. (yay) 

...Regardless of the weather, this city is quite stunning and takes you back in time by making you feel like moving here to Dean's Village, Oh my what a little quaint pretty place or into the sets of one of those historic UK crime-thriller shows!

3 Day | Glasgow + Edinburgh, Scotland

During the winter months I worked in Edinburgh as a freelancer for Edinburgh's Christmas Festival. In our free time we explore the best places to eat and drink :) 

In general, you can stroll around the city and find a great number of nice cafes and restaurants. I've just compiled a list of my favourites. Hopefully this will save you some time researching.

Edinburgh, Vereinigtes Königreich

The ultimate Edinburgh city guide

Scotland - the land of iconic views, food, and a FANTASTIC campervanning destination. We campervanned here for two weeks with this itinerary and had such an amazing experience. This guide covers 14 days and a whole lot of campervanning - get ready for a roadtrip! It covers the following destinations:

- Glencoe
- Isle of Skye
- NC500
- The Cairngorms
- Aberdeen
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow

& MANY destinations and things to do in between these major stops. 

For some places it includes restaurants (but not all, as it's a campervanning itinerary so you'll likely be cooking most of your meals), lots of adventure (hikes, views, and activities), where to stay (parking your campervan is SO easy in Scotland we've included where to look for camping spots and also included campervan sites to hook up to for each spot), and inside intel on what you should know before you visit. 

This itinerary is for the adventurous and people who want to get BUSY during their time here to see as much as possible. It includes quite a bit of driving and lots of activities. Whilst this itinerary is jam-packed, you can easily choose what you want from each day to give you more downtime, and spread some of the activities over multiple days to cut down on your driving time - it's very easily manipulated to suit your needs.

Edinburgh 

Took a cheap flight to London then headed up to spooky Edinburgh for the weekend via train. Did you know there is a train from London Kings Cross station to Edinburgh every 30 minutes?? Amazing! Here is our weekend guide to the magical city of Edinburgh.

Weekend in Edinburgh

Want to see Auld Reekie but are on a time crunch? This itinerary offers you three days in the city to see all of the major highlights plus some, organized to minimize traveling. Food and drink suggestions are also included! 

This was my second time in Edinburgh; both times I stayed about 5 days, so I've covered a lot of ground!

During my first visit, I did the following:
Free walking tour
Edinburgh Castle
Holyrood Palace
The Whisky Experience 
Camera Obscura

This time around, we were focused on one main "anchor" activity each day, and those were:
Royal Yacht Britannia
Underground Tour
Arthur's Seat Hike
Museums

Aside from our "anchors", we spent lots of leisurely wandering and walking. We also ate and drank well (coffee and whisky).

By now, I am confident I've done each of the big touristy things, AND a lot of more unique and off-the-beaten-path stuff.

This itinerary is based on our 2nd trip so it doesn't include the major things we did the first time around. That said, if you'd like my assistance with organizing a custom itinerary for Edinburgh, I can help! (I'll discount the service by the price of this guide if you previously purchased it.)

Edinburgh

Un véritable coup de cœur ! 

Édimbourg, la capitale de l'Écosse, est une ville au charme unique, mêlant histoire, culture et modernité. Connue pour son architecture médiévale impressionnante et ses rues pavées pittoresques, elle offre une atmosphère à la fois majestueuse et accueillante. Dominée par son célèbre château, perché sur un rocher volcanique, Édimbourg regorge de monuments historiques, de musées fascinants et de paysages naturels époustouflants, comme Arthur's Seat, une ancienne colline volcanique offrant une vue panoramique sur la ville.

Ses quartiers contrastés, du Royal Mile historique à la nouvelle ville géorgienne élégante, témoignent de la riche histoire de la ville, tout en offrant une scène gastronomique et artistique florissante.

J'ai eu la possibilité d'admirer la beauté d'Édimbourg à deux reprises. Lors d'un citytrip en mode solo et, ensuite, lors de mon train trip en Écosse où j'ai clôturé mon voyage dans la capitale. 

Lors de mes deux voyages, j'ai pris la décision de ne pas louer de voiture parce que : 

1. J'aime pas conduire de nuit (je suis partie les deux fois en hiver) ;
2. Je suis couillonne de conduire à gauche ; 
3. Je suis stressée des routes étroites (alors que j'ai roulé sur des routes de montagne en Crète).

J'ai donc choisi l'agence Rabbie's (https://www.rabbies.com) pour faire trois excursions d'une journée : 

- Au départ d'Édimbourg : Loch Lomond National Park, Kelpies & Stirling Castle
- Au départ d'Inverness : Skye & Eilean Donan Castle & The Complete Loch Ness Experience

A real crush ! 

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a city of unique charm, combining history, culture and modernity. Known for its impressive medieval architecture and picturesque cobbled streets, it has a majestic yet welcoming atmosphere. Dominated by its famous castle, perched on a volcanic rock, Edinburgh is full of historic monuments, fascinating museums and breathtaking natural landscapes, such as Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcanic hill offering panoramic views over the city.

Its contrasting neighbourhoods, from the historic Royal Mile to the stylish Georgian New Town, reflect the city's rich history, while offering a thriving food and arts scene.

I had the opportunity to admire Edinburgh's beauty on two occasions. On a solo citytrip and then on my train trip to Scotland, where I ended my trip in the capital. 

On my two trips, I decided not to hire a car because: 

1. I don't like driving at night (I went both times in winter);
2. I'm a coward for driving on the left; 
3. I'm stressed about narrow roads (even though I've driven on mountain roads in Crete).

So I chose Rabbie's (https://www.rabbies.com) for three day trips: 

- From Edinburgh: Loch Lomond National Park, Kelpies & Stirling Castle
- From Inverness: Skye & Eilean Donan Castle & The Complete Loch Ness Experience

Édimbourg | Edinburgh 

The Devil's Advocate

This place is perfect for a pint and a beer. Right in the old town this restaurant is perfectly situated and the indoor seating has SUCH a vibe to it. However, we decided to sit outside on the patio which had an amazing view of the cute cobblestone path with old buildings lined all the way down. The food, the drinks, and the ambiance were great. 

Came here for cocktails and a quick bite. Loved the casual ambiance, a bit spendy for a snack but really enjoyed the whisky and fish plate.

300+ whiskys; flights & cocktails. Terrace (reserve in advance). Great spot for a tasting flight!

Cosy, brick-lined pub boasting 300+ whiskies, plus burgers, meat dishes & craft cocktails.

Amazing atmosphere with great food, craft beer and hundreds of different whiskeys.
