Don’t Miss These Must-Do Activities in Edinburgh

Princes Street charms and entices with its mixture of shops and cafés—and when you want a dose (or two) of culture, museums such as the Scottish National Gallery, the Real Mary King’s Close, the Museum of Childhood, and Camera Obscura aren’t far away. See below for our top picks of experiences you can’t miss in the hilly, dynamic capital of Scotland.
