Many people visit Edinburgh and think the Old Town is all there is to see… but if you’re visiting during peak season and want to escape the crowds, I recommend exploring Old Town early in the morning when it’s quieter. Then, head to neighborhoods like Stockbridge, Leith, and beyond for a more local and authentic vibe. Edinburgh also has amazing outdoor spaces perfect for exploring! Tip: If you decide to venture out, make sure to bring comfortable shoes with good grip, a waterproof jacket or rain
