New Town has it all—from
high-end shopping and chic cocktail bars to its own fair share of history—the Scott Monument and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery!

Be sure to pop over and stroll Grassmarket's mini-highstreet, eat in its quaint cafes, and explore the little shops.

Stop by Edinburgh's iconic Balmoral Hotel, where J.K. Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and which boasts an unparalleled whisky selection and bar!
