Top neighbourhoods in Edinburgh

Old Town Edinburgh

Old Town Edinburgh's medieval charm unfolds along cobblestone streets where bagpipers perform against dramatic castle backdrops. The Royal Mile buzzes with energy as visitors duck into centuries-old closes and wynds to discover hidden treasures. Museums like the National Museum of Scotland showcase Scottish heritage while St. Giles' Cathedral's crown spire dominates the historic skyline. Traditional Scottish pubs serve hearty fare alongside famous whisky selections, perfect after exploring the neighborhood's shops offering tartans and Celtic jewellery. Most attractions sit within a 10-minute walk, with nearby Waverley Station connecting you to broader adventures throughout Scotland.

New Town

New Town dazzles with its gorgeous Georgian architecture and UNESCO status, making every stroll feel like you've stepped into a Jane Austen novel. Art lovers can lose themselves in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery while shopaholics hit the upscale boutiques along George Street. When you're done exploring elegant squares and historic townhouses, the Assembly Rooms offer a perfect peek into Edinburgh's refined past. The area serves up everything from fancy Michelin-starred restaurants to cosy traditional pubs where whisky flows freely. Princes Street tram stops and nearby Waverley Station make getting around super easy, while charming boutique hotels in converted Georgian buildings let you live like 18th-century royalty without the powdered wig.

Leith

Leith blends maritime charm with artistic edge along Edinburgh's historic waterfront. Stroll The Shore promenade where historic pubs and seafood restaurants line the Water of Leith. Once a working dockland, this area now buzzes with independent galleries and studios while maintaining its authentic character. The Royal Yacht Britannia offers a glimpse into royal maritime history. Dining ranges from Michelin-starred restaurants to cosy ethnic eateries reflecting the area's diverse culture. Hop on the tram at The Shore or Port of Leith stops for easy access to Edinburgh's city centre, just 15-20 minutes away. Boutique hotels in converted warehouses and waterfront apartments make ideal bases for exploring this vibrant district.

West End

The West End charms with elegant Georgian and Victorian architecture along tree-lined streets. Dean Village's historic atmosphere offers peaceful riverside walks by the Water of Leith. Johnnie Walker Princes Street and Edinburgh Gin Distillery delight whisky enthusiasts, while the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art showcases world-class exhibitions. Nearby Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile provide classic Scottish experiences. Upmarket boutiques and fine dining establishments cater to luxury seekers, with sophisticated cocktail bars and whisky lounges dominating the evening scene. The Usher Hall hosts cultural performances throughout the year. Haymarket Station and convenient tram lines make exploring Edinburgh easy, with most attractions within walking distance.

Stockbridge

Stockbridge feels like a secret village hiding in plain sight within Edinburgh. Cobblestone streets lead to Georgian sandstone buildings where independent shops and galleries flourish. The bustling Sunday market on Saunders Street showcases vendors selling everything from artisanal cheeses to vintage treasures. The Water of Leith provides peaceful walking paths, while the nearby Royal Botanic Garden offers acres of natural beauty. Cosy gastropubs and casual bistros dominate the dining scene with Scottish fare at moderate prices. Most accommodation is elegant Georgian townhouse B&Bs or boutique guesthouses that maintain the neighborhood's intimate atmosphere. Getting around is easy with excellent bus connections to the city centre, though the area itself is perfectly walkable.

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

8/10 Good
"Rooms were clean, breakfast and lounge was well stocked and the staff were polite and helpful. The location is easy to get anywhere and though no parking, they have some discount while parking at the Waverly station car park. There's a lot of scaffolding and elevators are limited due to construction"
