Stunning 😍

[@SteveTTTT]

Was in Edinburgh in January 2023. Was blown away! One of the world’s great overlooked cities. Was like walking in a storybook

[@JJExtra]

It has such a magical and enchanting feel. The architecture is just stunning 👌🏻

[@graemefoxworthy2785]

Overlooked? It is second to London in the most visited UK cities. Can't move for tourists and insta folk. Overlooked cities of the world, Edinburgh isn't. If you'd said Ghent, Glasgow, Gdansk, Riga, Split etc etc, I'd agree.

[@StimParavane]

Perhaps the fact that it hosts the world's largest performing arts festival every August might help its popularity...

[@SteveTTTT]

@@graemefoxworthy2785 Overlooked may not have been the best word choice. When compared to the big European tourist spots (London, Paris, Rome, etc.) it doesn’t get as much attention. What a wonderful city! Hope to get back.

A few years ago I went to Edinburgh to go up Arthur's seat but they had closed it due to a rockfall! So went around the perimeter of the path leading up. Haven't been up since then. I was over in Edinburgh last year and done a 12 mile walk. One thing about Edinburgh it's incredibly hilly. Went from Prince's Street to Leith docks. Along to Portobello (worth a visit). Back to Prince's Street (uphill all the way) to Calton Hill. Was struggling to climb the stairs at Calton Hill because of the long walk before it. I'm from East Kilbride in the west and was asleep on the bus to back to Glasgow. Anyone visiting there are some steep routes. I will go back this year at some point.

[@JJExtra]

Yes some of those Edinburgh hills are a killer! We must visit Portobello and Leith on our next trip!
