Couple travel

My trip to Edinburgh was a wonderful experience, as Scotland as a country is truly captivating. It’s worth exploring not only the city of Edinburgh itself, which is incredibly charming and easy to fall in love with, but also taking a trip to the Scottish Highlands as well as to Glasgow to experience a different atmosphere. Scotland really leaves a lasting impression, and I would recommend spending at least a week there.

Had a great time and met so many friendly people . It was on the more expensive side considering the pound conversion, but such a homely vibe. You can totally find areas in the city that don’t feel to touristy and the old town is so beautifully preserved.

It’s a nice city with a lot to explore. The shops are really good and the monuments to visit are mostly free. You can go to the museum and visit the park where the Ross fountain is. Just make sure you take something to protect yourself from the rain and the wind.

As with all cities you should be aware of your surroundings and keep purse, phone etc close to you. Police aren't very visible on the street but there are always people close by, be it in a shop, or a bus driver so you don't feel alone.

Edinburgh is generally very safe, of course like anywhere it is not completely risk free but I feel safe to be alone at night and will use public transport alone at night. I have no experience of being approached or harassed.

City centre especially is very safe, well lit and usually not that dangerous. There are darker alleys in the city, which are a bit more dangerous but compared to Glasgow it's much safer. I'd stay away from residential areas after midnight
