Best Things to do in Edinburgh
Description:
When staying for four days in Edinburgh there are certain top attractions you must see. The Edinburgh Dungeon is one of the most gruesome and infamous sights of the city. Be prepared to be scared with life-like wax models, scene re-enactments and methods of torture from Edinburgh’s bloody past. When your stomach has settled opt for Wee Windaes Restaurant, the small iconic building set on the Royal Mile offers a hearty lunch for visitors. The Edinburgh Festival Theatre is a great venue for exciting productions, so check the listings and book ahead. Edinburgh is also home to luxurious accommodation in particular The Balmoral Hotel, treat yourself to one of their stylish rooms and you will be treated like royalty throughout your stay.

Day 1 - Edinburgh
Start early in order to pack in the many sights on offer. Take the brisk walk to the Royal Mile and stop off at Wee Windaes Restaurant for a traditional Scottish lunch. If you are lucky you might be seated at the iconic 'wee windaes table', which offers great views onto the mile. Afterwards reach the summit and visit Edinburgh Castle for the afternoon, time it well and you could be there for the 1pm gun salute. Take a walk through Princes Street Gardens from the hotel to the Cafe Royal Oyster Bar for dinner. Finish your evening with a show at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre.
