brilliant zoo but it is very hilly. Best advice I'd give, go straight to the top and meander down seeing all of the animals on your way. There are a few coffee spots, playparks dotted throughout.

An area below the below the castle It is a very lively area, many bars and eating places to pick from. Beautiful and charming streets nearby.
Although the Grassmarket’s infamy as the site of public execution stretches back over 300 years, the final hanging in Edinburgh of a convicted criminal is, perhaps surprisingly, within living memory: 23rd June 1954.
There is still a pub called 'The Last Drop'
The White Hart Inn is Edinburgh’s most haunted…
Dating back to 1516, the White Hart Inn perhaps has more reason than most to be haunted. Pulled hair, slamming doors and flying chutney bottles have been reported, while paranormal experts allegedly captured the whispered words, ‘Help me!’
The Wee Pub is Scotland’s smallest. Measuring just 17ft by 15ft, The Wee Pub is reputedly the country’s smallest drinkery, accommodating just 20 patrons – at a squeeze! In keeping with diminutive size of the establishment, even the drinks are listed on postcards, with magnifying lenses on hand.
Greyfriars’ Bobby is one of Edinburgh’s most famous residents, a statue in recognition of which is erected on the corner of Candlemaker Row. Bobby was a Skye Terrier who memorably kept watch over his owner’s grave for 14 years until his own death in 1872 – or, by some accounts, in 1867, with a lookalike taking over thereafter. Either way, Bobby is the only dog to be afforded the Freedom of the City in Britain.

Edinburgh's New Town is one of the most spectacular neighbourhoods in the city. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and a true marvel of urban planning. Walking along the wide boulevards and symmetrical streets, lined with beautifully preserved Georgian houses and green open spaces, you can see why the New Town is considered the Scottish Enlightenment in stone. The elegant area was designed and built in the mid-to-late 18th century due to the overcrowded, squalid living conditions in the adjacent Old Town
On the western edge of the area is Charlotte Square. The massive plaza, with a private garden in the centre, is surrounded by stunning examples of 18th-century architecture. Visit the exquisite Georgian House to see for yourself how the wealthy lived 200 years ago.
A 15-minute walk away is the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, where you can discover Scotland's most significant historical figures through paintings and photographs. Head south, past St Andrew Square (a mirror image of Charlotte Square) and climb the 287 steps up to the Scott Monument. Dedicated to writer Sir Walter Scott, it's one of Edinburgh's most iconic landmarks. The vistas from the viewing platform are breathtaking.
