Love this place. Proper 'old man' vibe - with great selection of whisky (they still pour good 35ml measure here) and classic local beers.

Very interesting internally - slightly strange ambience, but cool to check out the inside. Meant to do a great bloody mary.

A cool, atmospheric bar in one of the narrow old lanes from the Royal Mile. Great range of drinks in here. Also does food!

For me the best pizza place. Napolitana style. No bookings just turn up. Expect to queue. Worth it though.

Sightseeing

Love this - not many people know you can pay to go up the inside of one of the legs. A crazy spiral stair case where you squeeze passed people. Fantastic view. Fully recommend.

Holds the 'Shame of Edinburgh' - so called as we ran out of money building it waaaay back. Great view and a cool place to walk about. Also a classy restaurant up here but booking required.

A must hike up. Only about 30 mins walk from my place and then about 30 mins to the top. Great views and likely great amounts of wind!

Search for this and you'll find the closest entrance to my place about a 15 to 20 minute walk away. Then you can walk it down to Stockbridge, or all the way down to Leith. Well worth it.

Neighborhoods

This is a great area for food and drinks. Great little shops and cafes and nice to walk around. Down the hill slightly is an amazing cheese mongers! IJ Mellis - check it out if you like cheese!

Consejos para los viajeros

Costumbres y cultura

Edinburgh is a safe city

I sometimes forget that some people have come from places where it maybe isn't so safe to walk around at night. Edinburgh is not like that. In all my time here, I've never seen anything bad happen. People are really chilled out and it's safe to walk around at night without worry.
Desplazamientos

Buses are great here

Buses are super frequent and on the main buses (lothian) you can pay with your credit card (if you have contactless). Otherwise, you'll need the exact change. One way is around £1.60 and a day ticket for as much travel as you want is around £4.00
