    So you've just arrived at Waverley Station.

    Or maybe you arrived by air?

    If it's sunny, start your day in Edinburgh with a stroll through Princes Street Gardens.

    Peckish? Visit Valvona and Crolla's café in Jenners.

    Or for something a bit more substantial – and healthier – visit Urban Angel.

    To burn off those brunch calories, climb the Scott Monument.

    Then stroll up The Mound towards the Royal Mile.

    Make sure you take a shortcut through Milne's Court.

    Need a bit of refreshment? Grab an ice cream or coffee from Burgers and Beers.

    Head uphill, feasting your eyes on the amazing medieval architecture on the way.

    It's time for your first major attraction of the day: Edinburgh Castle.

    Time for a well-earned lunch, and where better to spend it than at The Elephant House?

    After lunch, grab a quick selfie with Greyfriars Bobby.

    Or check out the iconic Old Town Bookshop.

    Then head to the National Museum of Scotland.

    It's time to jump on a bus to the New Town.

    You can check out Bute House, official residence of the First Minister...

    ...or visit the sumptuous Georgian House.

    Fancy a drink?

    After that, take a stroll to the beautiful Dean Village.

    Keep strolling until you get to Stockbridge.

    While you're there, don't miss Mellis Cheese.

    It's time for dinner, so head to Leith.

    If money's no object, book a table at The Kitchin.

    If you're a fan of seafood, check out Fishers instead.

    Or grab some grub at a converted ferry terminal.

    After dinner, head to Sofi's.

    Or, if you prefer a party atmosphere, round your day off with a trip to the legendary Port O'Leith bar.

    Thanks for visiting.
