Things to do in EDINBURGH SCOTLAND: Old Town, Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Carlton Hill Travel Vlog

Come with us this time to Edinburgh UK for a weekend experiencing the must see sights and some hidden gems!

We stayed 2 nights at the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton, just by Waverley station for a perfect location between new and old town Edinburgh. Whilst not necessarily the best hotel in Edinburgh as say a boutique option, a trusty chain hotel is always idea for a hectic weekend of sightseeing where you spend little time there! Plus we'll tell you how we nabbed a room with a view of the iconic Balmoral Hotel and Carlton Hill.

Staying just off the Royal Mile, we took in the sights of St.Giles' Cathedral, Victoria Street and Grassmarket. We also indulged with the famous hog roast at Oink Edinburgh, the rooftop terrace at Cold Town House and an amazing evening meal at Tattu Edinburgh.

The next morning we started early to see Edinburgh Castle, followed by a walking tour taking in Princess Street Garden, the Ross Fountain and Scott Monument. Plus we take you to the more obscure spots of The Vennel and picturesque Dean Village for those iconic Edinburgh photo opportunities! We again headed to the New Town for our last dinner at Gaucho Edinburgh and show you some other great restaurant options.

We finished our last morning with a gentle climb up Carlton Hill to enjoy the fantastic views and far less strenuous than the alternative hike to Arthur's Seat. Although we did not see all the things to do in Edinburgh city, we did tick off the must do highlights. This city has show much more to see so we will definitely be back to explore options such as Edinburgh Gin Distillery, The Johnny Walker Experience and Port of Leith. Plus are very tempted to try the Witchery - considered to be one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh
