Tips from locals
Excellent weather? Pass away the hours in the gardens, relaxing with views of the castle and grounds
The perfect place to relax if you’ve been walking all day. Vendors sell ice cream, snacks and hot drinks. There is also a children’s play park, and you get an excellent view of the castle. If you’re here at Christmas, the garden turns into a German style winter fair, full of stalls selling food, mulled wine, toys, and rides.
All iconic Edinburgh Castle photos are from the Princes Street Gardens. The Ross Bandstand is in the centre and during the Festival has live music. There is a children's play park to the far right hand side.
Ideal for a picnic or coffee right in the city centre, nestled between the Old and New Towns
