As you will discover, Scotland’s capital hides three cities in one: the Old Town, which has always inspired writers; a city of scientific discoveries; and finally, an Edinburgh for travellers.

This three-hour walk helps you understand why Edinburgh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a UNESCO City of Literature. The route begins along the Royal Mile, the city’s backbone until the 18th century. As you climb towards Edinburgh Castle, you will discover the unique aspects of the city and Scotland: from the urban layout of its closes to the evolution of the kilt and tartan, as well as whisky and haggis.

You can then take a break at Grassmarket before walking into the world of Harry Potter and the story of Greyfriars Bobby in Greyfriars Cemetery. Along the way, you will encounter countless stories about paranormal phenomena, politics, religion, and the thistle, even spotting locals enjoying the sun.

Beyond history, this tour also provides tips on where to eat, enjoy live music, shop for souvenirs or take part in the many monthly activities that fill Edinburgh with life.
