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 Potters Diagon Alley is a minute’s walk away and both here and in the Grassmarket you’ll find countless artisan cafes, hip eateries and a weekly food market.
