Edinburgh in 48 Hours: 30+ Things to Do, See & Eat in Scotland

Two days. Over 30 stops. And one unforgettable whirlwind through Scotland’s capital. In this video, we take you from historic landmarks to hidden gems, cozy coffee shops to epic viewpoints, and everything in between.

We’ll walk the Royal Mile, climb Arthur’s Seat, explore centuries-old castles, track down the best local bites (yes, even haggis), and duck into spots most tourists miss. Whether you're into history, food, bookstores, or just soaking up the vibe of this magical city, there's something here for you.

Here’s a taste of what’s inside:
– Must-see sights like Edinburgh Castle & Calton Hill
– Quirky stops like the Writers’ Museum and Greyfriars Bobby
– Local eats from Oink to Makars Mash Bar
– Iconic streets, famous gravestones, secret speakeasies, and more

Planning a trip? Save this video and follow along—this is your ultimate guide to experiencing Edinburgh in just 48 hours.
