8 things no one tells you about Edinburgh 👇 🗺️ You need to get off the beaten path. Get ready to get your steps in and get lost in the hidden passageways and narrow streets. Who knows what you’ll discover! ✍️ Have one particular restaurant or monument you want to visit? The high season is especially busy, so don’t forget to make your reservations in advance. 🥾 The centre is quite hilly (Old Town). We encourage you to visit on foot, but plan your itinerary accordingly to avoid getting tired. 🎉 August is busy… for a reason! It’s time for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world’s largest performing arts festival and the most iconic time of the year in the city. 🏘️ Need a change of scenery by the end of your trip? Many picturesque villages are accessible on foot such as Dean Village or Circus Lane. Take a day out to explore something new! 🐶 You’re probably familiar with Greyfriar Bobby… but rubbing the statue’s nose is actually frowned upon by the locals. Avoid touching it if you go by. 🧳 Pack everything. The weather is unpredictable and you might need your sweater, raincoat or sunglasses in the same week. 💸 No need to take out cash, cards are accepted everywhere in the city. The one tip you really need? Stay at ibis Edinburgh Royal Centre Mile for a convenient location and guaranteed comfort to rest during your epic Scottish adventure! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Save this for your upcoming trip and share the tips with your friends! - @ibishotels
