Grassmarket
The vibrant Grassmarket is located right in the heart of Edinburgh’s wonderfully atmospheric and historic Old Town. Nestled under world-famous Edinburgh Castle and mighty Castle Rock it offers the perfect city centre base. The vibrant location, just a stone’s throw from the famous Royal Mile is steeped in history, culture and stunning architecture. Cobbled, winding Victoria Street, with its colourful independent shops and restaurants, the inspiration behind Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley, is a minute’s walk away and both here and in the Grassmarket you’ll find an array of independent restaurants, bars and shops right on your doorstep.
Start your day right with a wholesome brunch at Hula; take a break from your Old Town wanders with the best ice cream in town from the retro, pink Mary’s Milk Bar; and have a chilled, candle-lit dinner at Maison Bleu.
The Grassmarket is packed full of independent restaurants, shops and artisan eateries. We include a Guidebook with all our top recommendations in each apartment. Some of our favourites include:
