✨ 1 Day in Edinburgh – Perfect Itinerary ✨

08:00 🚆 Catch the train from Newcastle to Edinburgh Waverley (1h30m – enjoy coastal views!) 09:30 🏰 Start at the Scott Monument (photo 3) - you can climb 287 steps for incredible city views. 10:15 🌳 Relax in Princes Street Gardens, right at the base of the monument (photo 4). 11:00 🌈 Head to Victoria Street – snap pics of the colorful buildings and grab Oink’s iconic pulled pork sandwich for brunch (photos 5 and 6). 12:00 🪦 Visit Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh’s legendary cemetery (photo 7). 13:00 🎶 Wander along the Royal Mile, soaking in festival vibes and street performers (photo 8). 14:00 🏰 Admire the Edinburgh Castle. 15:00 ⛰ Climb Calton Hill for stunning panoramic views and the Greek-style National Monument (photo 9). 16:00 💃 Enjoy a spontaneous salsa dance circle at the top – the perfect way to wrap up the day (photo 10). 💚 MY TOP 3 SPOTS 1. Victoria street 2. Royal Mile 3. Calton Hill ✨TIPS✨ - Watch the sunset at Calton Hill, you’ll get a stunning view of Edinburgh’s Old Town. - 1 day is enough to visit the city but you need to move on fast from one place to another. - Edinburgh is a place with a lot of history so I highly recommend booking a free tour. #edinburghtrips #itinerary #visitedinburgh #traveler #1daytrip
