There are many famous tourist attractions in Edinburgh, and some are definitely worth a visit. I've tried putting together a video that shows the famous landmarks and the more unknown hidden gems of Edinburgh.
Did I succeed? Let me know what you think in the comments below š¤
I couldn't mention all of the best things in Edinburgh in this video, so check out my written Edinburgh travel guide on my website. Here's the link: destinationwellknown.com/things-to-do-edinburgh/
In that guide, you'll also find a Google Map of the route I'm taking from Dean Village to Stockbridge (I really do think you should try it!).
If you're coming to Edinburgh and haven't booked a place to stay yet, check out my video on the best areas: Ā Ā Ā ā¢Ā WhereĀ toĀ StayĀ inĀ Edinburgh?Ā 3Ā BestĀ Ar...Ā Ā
Or my written guide with hotel recommendations: destinationwellknown.com/where-to-stay-edinburgh/
The hotel where I'm eating haggis ravioli is featured in this video: Ā Ā Ā ā¢Ā IĀ StayĀ InĀ AĀ PoolĀ HotelĀ InĀ ScotlandĀ š“ó §...Ā Ā
As I said in the video, I used to live in Edinburgh, and I've been showing tourists around as a tour guide, so I've been walking in all the famous streets of Edinburgh.
So, if you've got any questions about the things to do I've mentioned in the video or any questions about Edinburgh travel in general, leave a comment below, and I'll do my best to help.

Iām a local and this is more or less in line with my recommendations. Good job. Just careful the Baillie doesnāt get too busy with tourists, though.

Haha I enjoyed watching it! I will be coming to Edinburgh at the end of this month. Very helpful to know the vibe of each corner of the city in advance, thank you!

I visited many times and plan to come back. I ADORE Edinburgh. Greetings from MontrƩal.

With a little more time, I also recommend exploring out further. The Shore at Leith is a really nice neighbourhood to take in. The Union Canal is really nice to walk along, from Fountainbridge to about Polwarth where a lot of boating takes place. Lots of parks there to chill out in too.

Just a wee note......its Circus Lane not Citrus Lane. Holyrood is pronounced like the plant Holly. Thanks for showing my area Stockbridge and the Dean Path. The bailie Bar does amazing food!! Nice tour x

Hey, Julen here from the Basque Country. I'm visiting Edinburgh in about 2 weeks and I wanted to ask you if you recommend the visit to the Scottish Parliament, my mum is really interested in visiting it but I don't think the visit is a must based on your video and other videos I've been recently watching. Thanks a lot for the info given during the video, it has been very helpful pal

Good day. We are attending a wedding in Newcastle and are flying in and out of Edinburgh (from the US). After the wedding we decided to spend 4 days in Edinburgh and enjoy the city (first time). We are staying at the Hilton Carlton as I turned in my hotel points, so the lodging was not an additional cost. So we have reviewed many, many different websites, blogs, etc. and it seems that each one has different recommendations. There is an genuine honesty in your video's and we are leaning towards your suggestions. Questions? The main touristy locations are not really our desire, but are they warranted to visit? And since we are there for 4 full days, are there any additional (not so touristy) places/attractions and perhaps your favorite restaurants/pubs. Thanks.

Royal Yacht Britannia (top attraction to visit in UK) in Leith (1 of the best neighbourhoods in the world) where you have some of the best food locations, michelin stars and top authentic pubs to visit+ the waterfront! would have really deserved a mention from a local, as well as the whisky experience centre, Arthur Seat and gothic style of Scott monument or historic underground tours. Thanks for the nice video.. oh, and do you want to know where to buy fairly priced souvenirs, local books and local cultural guides?
