Lined with shops, pubs, and hidden closes – perfect for wandering and discovering stories of the Old Town. 🌳 Arthur’s Seat Climb this extinct volcano for the best panoramic view of Edinburgh. A short hike with a huge reward! 🎨 Museums & Culture National Museum of Scotland (free entry!) – history, science, and art under one roof.
