  • In this travel guide, I'll share the best things to do in Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    There are many famous tourist attractions in Edinburgh, and some are definitely worth a visit. I've tried putting together a video that shows the famous landmarks and the more unknown hidden gems of Edinburgh.
    Did I succeed? Let me know what you think in the comments below 🤝
    I couldn't mention all of the best things in Edinburgh in this video, so check out my written Edinburgh travel guide on my website. Here's the link: destinationwellknown.com/thin...
    In that guide, you'll also find a Google Map of the route I'm taking from Dean Village to Stockbridge (I really do think you should try it!).
    If you're coming to Edinburgh and haven't booked a place to stay yet, check out my video on the best areas: • Where to Stay in Edinb...
    Or my written guide with hotel recommendations: destinationwellknown.com/wher...
    The hotel where I'm eating haggis ravioli is featured in this video: • I Stay In A Pool Hotel...
    As I said in the video, I used to live in Edinburgh, and I've been showing tourists around as a tour guide, so I've been walking in all the famous streets of Edinburgh.
    So, if you've got any questions about the things to do I've mentioned in the video or any questions about Edinburgh travel in general, leave a comment below, and I'll do my best to help.

    I’m a local and this is more or less in line with my recommendations. Good job. Just careful the Baillie doesn’t get too busy with tourists, though.

      @@billbansheeedinburgh1172 The Shore is still pretty chill. But I got accosted down there recently by a French tourist trying to find Dean Village. TBH, I don’t mind tourists at their current level. If it got to Venice or Florence levels, however……

    Just a wee note......its Circus Lane not Citrus Lane. Holyrood is pronounced like the plant Holly. Thanks for showing my area Stockbridge and the Dean Path. The bailie Bar does amazing food!! Nice tour x

      Oh, you’d be RUSHING so I think I’d rather choose the things you really want to do and concentrate on them (so you also get to just chill a bit and enjoy the city) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Royal Yacht Britannia (top attraction to visit in UK) in Leith (1 of the best neighbourhoods in the world) where you have some of the best food locations, michelin stars and top authentic pubs to visit+ the waterfront! would have really deserved a mention from a local, as well as the whisky experience centre, Arthur Seat and gothic style of Scott monument or historic underground tours. Thanks for the nice video.. oh, and do you want to know where to buy fairly priced souvenirs, local books and local cultural guides?

    • @destinationwellknown
      @destinationwellknown  6 месяцев назад

      Great suggestions! I highly recommend going out to Leith, and I've also included Leith and Leith Shore in my written Edinburgh guides. And I miss going to the old Port O' Leith on a random Tuesday night 😀
      Unfortunately, my time in Edinburgh was limited when I recorded this video, so I couldn't make it out there. The same goes for Arthur's Seat and the Whisky Experience, but you're totally right - they 100% deserved to be in the video.
      Thanks for the comment 🙌 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    • @destinationwellknown
      @destinationwellknown  6 месяцев назад

      Anywhere but on the Royal Mile 😀 There are a lot of souvenir shops all over Edinburgh, so you won't struggle to find souvenirs. I'd recommend checking out the shops in Victoria Street where the shops generally have a different take on the classic touristy souvenirs, for example, The Red Door Gallery next door to the Harry Potter shop.
      Hope that helps - let me know if you've got any other Edinburgh travel questions 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    The number 1 best thing to do in Edinburgh is find a road that leads to anywhere else.
