Walking

Take the time to explore Edinburgh on foot. There are many interesting buildings, streets, shops and green spaces to investigate in the city of Edinburgh, and not only do you get to witness the many aspects of the city, but walking is a cost-effective, healthy and enjoyable way to get around.
