Things to see/do in Edinburgh

Bisected by the Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh city can be split into two main parts, those being the wonderfully atmospheric medieval ‘Old Town’ and the Georgian ‘New Town’. Edinburgh is a dramatic place - the imposing castle lords over the city on a volcanic rock face, the winding cobbled streets are lined with delightfully spooky medieval architecture – simply wandering around the city and taking it all in is an attraction in itself – and a thrifty way to discover the city. Panoramic views can be enjoyed from the North Bridge (for free) and the Scott Monument (a cheap £3).

Edinburgh’s attractions, however, are generally quite low cost and definitely worthwhile, and with so much to choose from you are sure to want to visit at least one or two of them. The top attraction in the city is Edinburgh Castle, with admission costing £11. Discounts are available for seniors and unemployed visitors and there are also special cheap rates for children. Wander around the exhibitions within castle with a special audio guide, available at low cost and in six languages.

Scotland is filled with superb and unique tourist attractions - with Edinburgh Car Hire you have the freedom to explore the highlands and lowlands in your own time, and see Scotland at your leisure. Book your Edinburgh Car Hire online today with Argus Car Hire Edinburgh.

Other notable attractions in and around the city include the Royal Yacht Britannia, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Botanic Garden, the unique Scottish Parliament Building, The Real Mary King’s Close Tour (booking in advance is advisable), Edinburgh Zoo, and many more. Avid sightseers and budget travelers may be interested in the Edinburgh Pass, which offers entry to 27 of the city’s top attractions for a discount price, as well as a comprehensive guidebook, special rates for restaurants and various offers for retail outlets in the city.

Eating out/nightlife in Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s many restaurants and pubs serve a range of food that will satisfy diners of nearly every taste and budget. Cheap eats can be found throughout the city in the fish ‘n chip shops, where you can go for the traditional fish ‘n chips or sample such haute cuisine delicacies as battered pizza with brown sauce, battered mars bar, or battered haggis. Hmmmmm. Alternatively, cheap and considerably less artery-attacking meals can be found in establishments like the Bad Ass on Rose Street, Bells Diner on Stephen Street, Barioja on Jeffrey Street and Always Sunday on the High Street in the Old Town.

For more high-end eating, gastronomes (and in particular, wine loving gastronomes) can enjoy a beautiful meal in Edinburgh’s famous Witchery by the Castle Restaurant. Seasonal Scottish ingredients are put together with finesse and care for a meal that, while not cheap (estimated average of €60 per person), is certainly worth blowing some of your budget on. If you want to eat here but really can’t stretch your budget, avoid paying full whack by choosing the set lunch menu.

Nightlife in Edinburgh is a fun-filled and often quite messy affair, with a number of huge clubs and packed pubs to be found throughout the city. Tourists tend to flock towards the Grassmarket (meat market?) area, where you can expect to find herds of stags and hens in advanced stages of inebriation. Trendy bars and clubs can be found in George Street, while more traditional watering holes are abundant throughout the city – highly recommended is The Burgh on South St Andrews Street. For a low cost night out, invest in a Yellow Card. It’s cheap at £1, and offers discount drinks in any pub carrying a Yellow Card sign.
