The Historic Heart of Edinburgh – Old Town
A quick jaunt from your accommodation will take you to Edinburgh’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with history and character. Stroll along the famous Royal Mile, connecting the majestic Edinburgh Castle to the regal Palace of Holyroodhouse. The cobbled streets are alive with fascinating landmarks, cosy pubs, and quirky shops filled with treasures. Don’t forget to explore the hidden gems tucked away in the closes and wynds – each corner has a story to tell.
Looking for something a little spookier? The Old Town is famous for its underground vaults and ghost tours, offering a unique (and spine-tingling!) way to learn about Edinburgh’s storied past.
The Elegant Vibes of New Town
Cross over to Edinburgh’s New Town for a dose of Georgian elegance and modern charm. Known for its beautifully symmetrical streets and grand architecture, this neighbourhood has something for everyone. Shopaholics will love strolling along Princes Street and George Street, where you’ll find everything from big-name brands to unique boutiques. Culture enthusiasts can pop into the Scottish National Gallery or simply admire the stunning views of the Old Town from Princes Street Gardens.
After a day of exploring, treat yourself to a delicious meal or an expertly crafted cocktail at one of New Town’s sophisticated bars or restaurants – many of which are tucked away in atmospheric basement locations.
The Vibrant Energy of Grassmarket
For a lively and eclectic atmosphere, the Grassmarket area is hard to beat. Just a short walk from PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh, this historic market square is bursting with energy and charm. Lined with independent shops, cafes, and traditional Scottish pubs, it’s a fantastic spot to spend an afternoon browsing or relaxing with a drink.
On Saturdays, the Grassmarket transforms into a buzzing market filled with local crafts, artisan foods, and live music. This welcoming community vibe makes it a wonderful place to mingle with locals and other visitors alike.
The Serenity of Dean Village
For a quieter escape, head to Dean Village, a picturesque haven just a stone’s throw from the bustling city centre. Tucked away along the Water of Leith, this hidden gem feels like stepping back in time. Wander along the peaceful pathways and admire the quaint cottages and lush greenery surrounding this historic milling village. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or a moment to recharge during your city adventures.
Things To Do Around Fountain Court
Don’t overlook the delights right on our doorstep! Fountainbridge is a thriving area with a mix of cultural attractions, trendy cafes, and local charm. Catch a film at the independent Cameo Cinema – one of the oldest cinemas in Scotland – or enjoy a cruise along the Union Canal. The canal area has rapidly become one of the city’s coolest spots, perfect for walking, cycling, and dining at one of the waterside eateries.
