If you\u2019re just passing through Edinburgh for a day or two, staying close to the bustling Royal Mile (the stretch between historical landmarks Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace) in the centre of the action means you\u2019ll get to see and do more on your whirlwind visit.<\/p>\n

Here are our top to-do\u2019s in and around the Royal Mile for any short stint or longer stay in the magical city of Edinburgh\u2026<\/p>\n

Drink up interesting information and fine amber elixir at The Scotch Whisky Experience<\/h2>\n

A worthwhile experience for both whisky lovers and those who can\u2019t stand the stuff, The Scotch Whisky Experience includes a viewing of the world\u2019s largest Scottish whisky collection, a dram of locally produced single malt, a whisky barrel ride through the production process (accompanied by the resident ghost) and more. Come out the other side a true connoisseur\u2026<\/p>\n

See the city below the city at Real King Mary\u2019s Close<\/h2>\n

Discover Edinburgh\u2019s deepest and literally darkest secret; a warren of buried streets frozen in time since the 17th Century. On a one hour audio-visual tour below the modern day city centre, learn the scandalous history of the most prominent residents and see for yourself how inhabitants lived, worked and fought off the plague \u2013 often in vein \u2013 before being forced above ground.<\/p>\n

A fascinating look at the history of Edinburgh, the Real King Marys Close tour is the perfect any-weather option for holiday-markers.<\/p>\n

Visit an authentic Scottish pub (or two\u2026or ten\u2026)<\/h2>\n

The Royal Mile is lined from top to tail with an extensive assortment of pubs \u2013 some modern and minimalist, but majority of which are authentically cosy and genuinely welcoming. Grab a table on the street outside to enjoy some people-watching if weather permits, or head inside for Scottish hospitality and comfort food to match. Think fish and chips (with mushy peas of course), steak and ale pie and signature Scottish haggis for the brave at heart.<\/p>\n

Go for the good food and drinks that’ll\u00a0 warm you from the inside out. Leave with new friends, warmed cheeks and a renewed energy to continue your exploration of the area.<\/p>\n

There are literally dozens of great establishments to choose from, but some of the most revered pubs along the Royal Mile include Deacon Brodies Tavern, The Royal Mile, The World’s End and The Mitre.<\/p>\n

\"Scottish<\/p>\n

Indulge with dinner at The Witchery at the Castle<\/h2>\n

Pub food is a must in Scotland, but a fine dining experience as spectacular as The Witchery at the Castle simply cannot be ignored. Where incredible meals meet an enchantingly romantic atmosphere, at the gates to the castle is where you\u2019ll find Edinburgh\u2019s most famous and fawned over restaurant.<\/p>\n

Declared by Andrew Lloyd Webber to be “the prettiest restaurant ever”, whether you\u2019re seated in the lavish original Witchery or in the fairy-tale Secret Garden, find yourself seduced by the moody lighting, the tall candlesticks, the decadent d\u00e9cor, attentive and charming servers and of course the I\u2019d-lick-my-plate-if-I-could quality food, each dish prepared with the most love and attention, seemingly just for you.\"\"<\/p>\n

Reserve your table at The Witchery by the Castle <\/a>in advance to avoid any disappointment.<\/p>\n

Marvel at the High Street performers<\/h2>\n

Got some time to spare between activities? The Royal Mile is lined with talented street performers that will have you baffled at their tricks, thrilled by their bagpipes, laughing at their acts and wondering where the time went. Love an artist\u2019s performance? Don\u2019t forget to show your appreciation with a Euro or two!<\/p>\n

\"Street<\/p>\n

Take a selfie outside Edinburgh Castle<\/h2>\n

Perched at the top of the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle is an impressive sight to behold. If you\u2019re short on time, a quick selfie outside the castle as proof of your walk up the hill is just as beautiful as any photo you\u2019ll take inside its walls.<\/p>\n

\"Edinburgh<\/p>\n

Shop local goods made with love<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t buy your loved ones magnets as mementos of your trip to Scotland. Instead visit the local shops to pick up authentic Scotch Whisky, Edinburgh gin, kilts, cashmere, tartan scarves, tweeds, buttery shortbread or a case of good old Irn-Bru (the iconic Scottish cooldrink).<\/p>\n

A few establishments worth popping into include Ragamuffin, The Woollen Mill, Geoffrey Tailor Kilts, Marchbrae and Royal Mile Whiskies.<\/p>\n
