Victoria Street's curving row of red, blue and pink shopfronts beneath tall stone tenements

Victoria Street and the Grassmarket

  • Bar
  • Mid-price
  • Romantic

Wander down the curve of colourful shopfronts on Victoria Street into the Grassmarket for a drink under the castle rock.

Why it's a good date: Independent shops on the way down, old pubs at the bottom and the castle above you. It's busy by day, so come in the evening when the pubs are lit up.
