Autumn in Edinburgh fulfills all my fantasies about the UK...

When the autumn wind sweeps past the ancient stone walls, Edinburgh dons a magical golden cloak. This is the most fairy-tale-like season of the year in Edinburgh. Let me share my 2️⃣-day autumn itinerary in Edinburgh 🍂 🍂 Edinburgh Autumn 2️⃣-Day Tour: 1️⃣ Day 1: Royal Mile and Old Town Autumn Colors 🔹 Morning: ▪️ Edinburgh Castle: Fewer crowds in autumn and the castle shrouded in morning mist is especially mysterious. Capture the contrast of golden ginkgo leaves and stone walls in the castle square. ▪️ Royal Mile: Walk east from the castle, admire Gothic architecture along the way. Must-stop: The Witchery restaurant (the red leaf vines at the entrance are perfect for photos). 🔹 Noon: ▪️ The Elephant House: The café where J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter. Order a pumpkin spice latte and enjoy the autumn street view from a window seat. 🔹 Afternoon: ▪️ Greyfriars Kirkyard: The ancient trees with red leaves and tombstones create a dark-toned beauty. Find the statue of “Greyfriars Bobby” and the tombstones that inspired names of Harry Potter characters. 🔹 Evening: ▪️ Calton Hill: Climb to the top at sunset to overlook the city bathed in autumn colors. —— 2️⃣ Day 2: Natural Autumn Scenery 🔹 Morning: ▪️ Arthur's Seat: Choose the gentler eastern trail; from the summit, you can see the entire city covered in autumn foliage. ▪️ Holyrood Park: The lake at the foot of the hill reflects the autumn leaves, perfect for a picnic. Locals love to bring hot mulled wine and cinnamon rolls here. 🔹 Afternoon: ▪️ National Gallery of Scotland: Autumn special exhibitions often feature landscape paintings that echo the real autumn colors outside the window. ▪️ Dean Village: A hidden fairy-tale village, with fiery maple leaves by the river and a watermill cottage that’s a popular Instagram spot. —— Highly recommend an Airbnb where you can enjoy Edinburgh’s ❤️!
