Solo travel

I had such a wonderful time in Edinburgh! I met some amazing people, saw so much history and culture, and enjoyed the views and hikes. I told my friends there is just about every type of food you can possibly think of somewhere in Edinburgh, and I loved all of it. I even tried haggis tacos, which were honestly pretty good. I went during the Fringe, so my experience might be a little different, since the streets were packed full pretty much at all hours. Trying to get down the Royal Mile during...

I went to Edinburgh with a friend during a weekend back in February 2025. It was magical. We fell in love with the city's vibes and had a nice time there.

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.

In my experience, I think Edinburgh is a pretty safe city for solo traveler, but actually I did’t explore all alone after 9 pm. I was with other girls, solo traveler I met, and we had no problems! I also went out very early in the morning, and I found it safe too!

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.
