Lots of fun things to see and do and just a nice place to hang out. Loads of lunch spots; we would recommend the Whiskey and Haggis arcade and suggest try the Robert Burns Famous Haggis with whiskey sauce; one portion is enough for 2 people.

The real St Mary's Close.
The real St Mary's Close. Amazing "Museum" which is actually a series of uncovered streets that were originally built beneath the current road, below the town. When the plague hit, the poor were entombed there. The history of it was mind-boggling. A must to see. The Mile itself just great to walk, stop, sip a drink or two. The Dome restaurant and Bars wonderous at Xmas. Fantastic array of external and internal Christmas lights, trees.

Loved walking up and down the Royal Mile, it was the Fringe Festival while were there, it was a hive of activity and street performers were dotted along the mile. There are also some interesting shops selling souvenirs, if that's your thing

DON'T go in peak season!
DON'T go in peak season! The historical interest is completely obfuscated by the crowds and tacky souvenir shops. Taking a walking tour with Mercat tours at least gives one interesting historical information

Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length.
Hopefully you'll get a chance to walk the entire length. Always a bustling area with lots of interesting things to do and see. Too much to list here. Check online. the Whisky adventure is a must for those who like a tipple, Camera Obscura at the castle end. Holyrood Palace and park at the other. Book the top end restaurants well in advance of your visit.

- 8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 5,256 reviewsGot the room with the double bed and single bed. The location is right beside the Royal Mile, and a less than 5 minute walk from the Waverley station. The room had comfy bed and pillows, had a small fridge, had a blow dryer, also had soap and shampoo/conditioner from The White Company so I suggest just brining some conditioner for anyone who needs them. Hotel had helpful staff too. Overall happy with our stay.

MarkusGermany - From € 381.80 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 2,466 reviewsFabulous location for those (like us) travelling by train. I think 25m from the entrance to Waverley station? And unlike other cities, the station is in the nice historic part. Walk out the door of the hotel and head straight up to the stairs (there are lots in Edinburgh!) to the Royal Mile and castle above you. Really great.tanguerozUnited Kingdom
- From € 382.09 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 4,991 reviewsThe location is excellent right off the Royal Mile. The room was spacious enough and the beds were on the firmer side, which we like. The staff were very helpful in answering questions and even did it cheerily. Hunter Square is hopping so expect some noise at times - didn't bother us but the hotel will provide earplugs if you want them.

Walked to every major place we wanted, hop on hop off bus, Royal mile, pubs, supermarket. Cannot recommend this place enough. One bed apartment super spacious, clean and so well equipped. Will definitely stay again if we come back.SusanAustralia
- From € 384.13 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 1,866 reviewsThis hotel was exactly what we wanted, something with more charm than a large chain hotel. The room was really nice for a couple, perhaps not for friends or families, not much privacy in our particular room. The restaurant was excellent as was the bar. Located close to the Royal Mile and the University. Overall a very nice place to stay.
EricUnited States - 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 103 reviewsThis top floor duplex apartment is tucked away on the Royal Mile with access through an ancient alley. We might never have found it without the detailed instructions (with pictures) from our host - many thanks! The apartment was well equipped with everything needed for a short stay. Great location on Lawnmarket, and it was lovely to have the small private terrace (accessed from one of the bedrooms) with views over the city.
JacquiUnited Kingdom - 8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 112 reviewsThe apartment is in a great location within walking distance of the Royal Mile. Everything we needed was supplied and we enjoyed doing a little light cooking at home. We much appreciated the cleanliness and the kitchenware and toiletries provided by our host. Mario sent us detailed instructions about the flat before our arrival, as well as lots of useful information for our stay. Bravo!!

Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts
Get away from the Royal Mile where tourists come to snap endless photos of token bag pipers wearing kilts. Walk to the Stockbridge neighborhood, full of beautiful flats, interesting shops and cafes. Walk to the old side of the city underneath the castle for pub crawling.

Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk
Walking from the Castle down the Royal Mile to Holyrood House with the new Parliament en route takes some beating in terms not just of historical content but also of ease of travel-it's a straight downhill walk. On the way talk to people-some of the locals actually know a lot about their City and take a pride in it.

Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old
St. Giles on the Royal Mile is several hundreds of years old. My family attended a pipe organ recital there one evening. What an awesome and thunderous sound that huge organ made, but could produce the most delicate melodies as well. Highly recommend taking some time to study the beautiful architecture as well as the gorgeous stained glass windows and the history surrounding this or any cathedral, for there is always a history to be known.

As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell
As a city Edinburgh is steeped in history, all the areas off the Royal Mile has a tale to tell. The city offers a number of good tours both by bus and feet for getting to know the past and how people lived. The city also offers an insight to famous personalities of the past such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Rabbie Burns
