Some of my top recommendations for visitors!
If you only have time to visit one museum in Edinburgh, this is the best choice! Really helps you to understand the history and the people of the city.
Museum of Edinburgh
The best place to get unique and locally made souvenirs, artwork, jewelry, and decor!
Scottish Design Exchange
Everyone knows to visit Edinburgh Castle but Craigmillar Castle is also a MUST! A beautiful castle in ruins with amazing history and no crowds.
Craigmillar Castle
Blackwells 😍😍😍 someone needs to hold me back every time I visit, I don’t need more books! (Yes I do)
Blackwell's Bookshop
Their cocktail making experience is literally sooooo fun! And miles better than any other similar attraction in Edinburgh.
Department Of Magic
I’ve been on 5+ different ghost tours of Edinburgh and this company by far has the best tour!
City Of The Dead Tours
Maybe I’m just a child at heart but I love this wee little museum. Some of the old videos of children playing on the streets of Edinburgh are super fun and a fascinating look into everyday life of the past.
Museum of Childhood
A truly immersive experience with rotating nerdy themes.
The Cocktail Geeks
I always recommend Calton Hill to visitors as an alternative to Arthur’s Seat. Still feels like a bit of a trek and has amazing views without breaking as much of a sweat.
Calton Hill: Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site
Definitely more aimed at the kiddos but I love a good science museum so you won’t see me complaining.
Dynamic Earth
Such a fun and unique experience. Learn about chocolate, make your own bar, and taste endless amounts!
The Chocolatarium
My home away from home! Beautiful and such a great selection of books.
Edinburgh Central Library
I absolutely love a stroll through the gardens whenever I am in the area.
Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
I might just be a nerd but I throughly enjoy this museum every time I visit.
The Writers' Museum
I always really enjoy a night out here! Although they don’t have enough women’s toilets so I always have to complain about that.
The Three Sisters
I looooove the Edinburgh Zoo and even as an adult with no kids have a membership
