Old Town, Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, a unesco World Heritage Site, enjoys an unbeatable location with a 260-acre park, world-class amenities, and the capital’s most treasured historic landmarks all on the doorstep. A haven for students, visitors, and locals alike, the area is brimming with cafés, bars and restaurants serving world-class cuisine, and hosts some of the capital’s best nightclubs and renowned live music venues. Residents are just a few minutes’ walk from sprawling Holyrood Park, which is home to rugged Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags, as well as St Margaret’s Loch and the ruins of St Antony’s Chapel. The Royal Mile, with Edinburgh Castle at its head and the Palace of Holyroodhouse at its foot, is also just a short walk away, as are numerous cultural and heritage attractions, namely The National Museum of Scotland, Surgeons’ Hall Museums, and The Queen’s Gallery. In the summer months the Old Town is transformed into the epicentre of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and welcomes thousands of performers and spectators from around the globe. The area is served by an excellent range of local services and amenities and is just a short walk from more extensive retail outlets on Princes Street and George Street. Although the Old Town is ideal for navigating the city on foot or by bike, there is also no shortage of public buses, as well as national rail services from Waverley station and tram links from Princes Street.
