We started the next day by visiting a beautiful, picturesque street called Circus Lane, and then had breakfast at Cafe Hanover 71. We were surprised by how long it took us to find a place to eat. I wasn’t familiar with the Scottish culture at all (or maybe it’s only Edinburgh), but when we were asked if we made a reservation for breakfast, it really caught me off guard! We managed to find a nice place to have breakfast, so all was well. I ordered an egg Benedict croissant and Dominik went for Nutella waffles.
At 11 am, we were back in the old part of the city as we had yet another tour booked! This time we opted for Edinburgh Vault Tour. Deep underneath Edinburgh, there is a whole other city that people are not aware of. There are vaults that were used as taverns, and workshops and were the epicenter of criminal activities back in the 18th century. It is also a hotspot with paranormal activity! I really enjoyed the tour, however, I wish we’d spent more time underground. It was very spooky!
After the tour, we decided to walk around the city we visited Deacon Brodie’s Tavern for a pint, found Thomas Riddle’s gravestone at Greyfriars Kirkyard and then finally decided to try traditional Scottish food at George IV Bar. We ordered haggis, Cullen Skink and a leek soup. All was delicious!
A couple of pints later, we headed to Edinburgh Castle. I found a nice location called the Vennel with a gorgeous view of the historical buildings and the famous castle in the background and had a little photoshoot there. We didn’t go inside the castle, instead, we ended up in a pub and we finished our night with Mexican food and cocktails.
The next day early in the morning, we stopped by Laura’s Kitchen, a small local coffee shop with a lovely staff and ordered breakfast. We then took a stroll in Dean’s village, a cute former village in the northwest part of Edinburgh, and then visited the Princess Street Gardens before heading to the airport and boarding our flight.
