Edinburgh's bohemian neighbourhood Stockbridge has a bohemian atmosphere that draws many artists, such as writers and musicians, to this part of Edinburgh. If you need proof, just walk around the magnificent variety of shops, which include jewellers, antique dealers, and art galleries.
It takes on the appearance of a town near Edinburgh on Sunday mornings, when there are plenty of natural products harvested directly from the fields to the market.
Quality fruits and vegetables grown in the Edinburgh area are among the products available at this "one-day market." Bread, craft beer, and artwork are also available. There will also be food and drink stalls if you want to snack.

Your visit to Edinburgh may begin in the Old Town, but don't forget to visit the New Town, which was built during the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. You can wander the streets that were once home to the city's wealthy intellectuals, who moved here to escape the overcrowded Old Town.
You can see Neoclassical architecture throughout the New Town, which inspired the city's nickname at the time, "Athens of the North." You may also notice that it is built on a symmetrical, geometric plan, which is consistent with the Enlightenment philosophy of rationalism.
Because of the contrast with the Old Town, both areas were designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1995.
Aside from the beautiful architecture, there are plenty of green spaces to relax in around the New Town. Take a stroll through Princes Street Gardens, which were built on the site of a loch, and look at The Mound, the artificial hill that connects the Old and New Towns.
You can also admire the Scott Monument or go to the Scottish National Gallery, which houses the country's largest collection of fine art.
You can also take a walk up Calton Hill, which is located at the east end of the New Town and has several monuments to see. Don't miss the National Monument, which is a half-finished replica of the Athenian Parthenon!
Calton Hill also provides some of the best views of Edinburgh, including the Old and New Towns, as well as Holyrood Park.
The New Town is the place to go if you want to go shopping in Edinburgh. Many large, international brand names can be found on Princes Street and Rose Street, and several designer outlets can be found nearby on Multrees Walk.
And, because Princes Street has no buildings on one side, you can enjoy stunning views of the Old Town while shopping!
There are also many excellent pubs and restaurants in the New Town, particularly on Rose Street, and you can stay late at the many bars and clubs on George Street.

The West End is home to some of Edinburgh's best theatres, cinemas, art galleries, and restaurants. Enough said; there is always something to do here. Lothian Road is the street that separates the West End from the rest of Edinburgh.
A large part of the neighborhood's cultural life is developed here, with audiences such as the Usher Hall, The Royal Lyceum Theater, and The Traverse Theater, which host a large number of events throughout the year, including concerts of classical music, dance, opera, and many other musical shows.
Of course, you'll be able to visit the three auditoriums and see shows from the Fringe Festival and the International Festival of Edinburgh during August. The Filmhouse, an independent movie theatre nearby, hosts the Edinburgh International Film Festival every year.
You'll come across some very unique and interesting restaurants, such as Ghillie Dhu, which offers a truly Scottish experience and is housed inside an old church. You can sample some of the best local fare and attend traditional events such as the Ceilidh, a traditional Scottish dance and gathering.
Another interesting West End spot is The Rat Pack, a cocktail bar where the piano is the star, or Whighams Wine Cellars, which has live jazz and a good wine selection.

Anyone who grew up there will tell you that they are from Leith, not Edinburgh.
The port of Edinburgh is located here, and Leith had its own town hall until 1920. That is one of the reasons its residents continue to be proud of their heritage.
Even if you've never heard of Leith, you've probably heard of Trainspotting, a popular novel set in this area.
When the Henry Robb shipyards closed in 1984, many people in Leith found themselves in a difficult situation; a lack of work caused many problems with integration and drugs.
The novel Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh and the film of the same name directed by Danny Boyle are set during this period in Scottish history.
Nowadays, Leith bears no resemblance to the town depicted in Trainspotting. It is one of Edinburgh's more vibrant neighbourhoods, with a thriving social scene.
You can dine at some of Edinburgh's best restaurants and visit one of the city's most important tourist attractions, the Royal Yacht Britannia, the old yacht of the British Royal Family.
Another thing you can do in Leith is visit its antique and second-hand stores, some of which are charities and sell donated items, with all profits going to charity.
If you want to go for a quick walk or have dinner, The Shore, at the mouth of the Water of Leith, is a good option. It is home to several well-known restaurants, including Michelin-starred The Kitchin and Martin Wishart.
Recommendations for this neighbourhood are listed separately.

When visiting the city, the Old Town of Edinburgh will undoubtedly be your first stop. It was even named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. This is the oldest part of Edinburgh, where the city was first constructed, and it continues to be its heart.
Due to the terrain on which it was constructed, Edinburgh's Old Town has a rather unique layout. The city is situated on a formation known as a "crag and tail," which features an extinct volcano at its summit (Edinburgh Castle), and a glacial ridge that runs downhill (the Royal Mile).
You will see tall buildings and small alleyways all around you, which are the remains of previous extreme crowdedness. For one of the best vistas of the eclectic Old Town, where you can take some of the most famous pictures of Edinburgh's skyline, go to Calton Hill.
The Royal Mile, which has served as Edinburgh's main thoroughfare for centuries, is a must-see. Its name refers to both its length, roughly one Scottish mile, and the two royal residences at either end of the street, Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.
You can join walking tours of the city, including the Edinburgh Free Tour, which focuses on the traditional history and significant landmarks, and the Free Ghost Tour, which explores the darker, more gruesome aspects of the city's past. There are also a lot of cafes, restaurants, and gift shops in the area, so you won't run out of things to see and do.
The Free Harry Potter Tour and the Free Tour exploring the New Town both start from here for Harry Potter fans.
The Old Town is home to many of the city's most significant landmarks, including St. Giles' Cathedral, a well-known Church of Scotland structure with stunning architecture and an intriguing history.
You could also visit some of the other notable churches in Old Town, such as Greyfriars Kirk, Highland Tolbooth Kirk, Tron Kirk, Canongate Kirk, and Tron Kirk (now The Hub).
You might also enjoy visiting the Scottish Parliament building and the Mercat Cross, among other interesting locations. Alternately, you could spend some time wandering through the numerous closes (alleys) that branch off the Royal Mile, many of which conceal interesting areas of the Old Town.
The National Museum of Scotland, which is the biggest and most visited and is located on Chambers Street and is free to visit, is one of the best museums in Edinburgh. It is also one of the best places to learn about a wide variety of fascinating subjects that will interest everyone.
With dozens of bars and clubs to choose from, many of which feature live music at night, the Old Town is one of the best places to go out in the city. You should definitely explore it at night as well.
The Edinburgh Pub Crawl begins every night at 8 p.m. in The Tron, one of the top bars in the Old Town, which is located at 9 Hunter Square. You might also like to participate in it.
You shouldn't pass up the chance to thoroughly explore Edinburgh's Old Town and be astounded by the uniqueness of its design, fascinating history, and unique atmosphere where locals and visitors can mingle and feel at home.

These taxis can typically accommodate five passengers in addition to the driver because they have a rear cabin with additional rear-facing folding seats that is divided from the front cabin by a bulkhead.
