One of the cities greatest attractions is that it can appeal to all ages, tastes and persuasions.

The hostel staff always offering great ideas for things to see and do and sometimes its difficult no to leave the hostel itself; with a great mix of foreign and local travelers you will more than likely gather a larger group together for a wild night out.

Day 3 - Edinburgh


Begin the day (and the recovery) with a refreshing walk through Princes Street Gardens. Ease yourself into reality with a browse through the local shops. The Museum of Scotland has a great selection of exhibits for those quieter afternoons. Pear Tree House has a large beer garden which at night is lit up with strings of twinkly fairy lights. Stay for your dinner and long into the night it sometimes offers accoustic music sets. A relaxed and enjoyable end to three nights away.
