The Georgian House
For a glimpse into the lifestyle of Edinburgh’s 18th century upper class, visit the Georgian House in Edinburgh’s “New Town.” Refurbished and opened to the public by Scotland's National Trust, the Georgian House boasts elegant architecture and antiques.
Gladstone’s Land
On the other end of the spectrum, this 17th century merchant house, though beautifully restored, shows how confined living conditions were on the Royal Mile centuries ago.
Museum of Scotland
Discover everything you ever wanted to know about Scotland, including a few things you never knew existed—like a milk bottle actor Sean Connery carried when he was a milkman.
Museum of Childhood
Described as the noisiest museum in the world, this is the world’s first museum devoted to the wonders of childhood. Delight in the old-fashioned toys, books, and nickelodeons.
Dean Village
Just a few minutes walk from New Town’s Charlotte Square and 100 feet below the rest of the city, you’ll find an 800-year-old milling town on the Water of Leith. Enjoy a riverside walk through the village as well as lots of local color.
New Town
Flower-filled gardens line one side of Princes Street, colorful shops and galleries the other. And on George Street you’ll find all the smart and exclusive fashion as well as upmarket pubs, clubs, and bars.
The Balmoral Spa
After a day of shopping on famous Princes Street, visit this 5-star hotel for a little pampering. A Turkish steam sauna or Thai clay body mask in its world-renowned spa should do the trick.
Royal Oak Pub
You’ll find plenty of pubs in Edinburgh, but for the sounds of Scottish folk music while you savor your ale, this pub on Infirmary Street is the place.
Mary King’s Close
Visit this area if you dare! These 18th century tenement cellars and basements are believed to be haunted. The plague of 1645 wiped out all of its inhabitants.
Bruntsfield Links
Yes, you can play golf in Edinburgh! Bruntsfield is the fourth oldest golf club in the world, and has hosted a number of major championships.
