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.)
