Capture the stunning colors of the sky and reflect on the beautiful memories you created throughout the day.

Complete your local journey by indulging in a dinner that represents the local cuisine. Visit a restaurant that offers traditional dishes and flavors unique to the city. Pair your meal with local wines or craft beers to enhance the culinary experience. Toast to an unforgettable day as you bid farewell to your role as a tourist.

10. Reflect and Plan

Before you call it a day, take some time to reflect on your journey and plan for the days ahead. Write down your favorite moments, the places you want to revisit, and the experiences you want to try next. Embrace the local lifestyle and keep the essence of becoming a local alive even after you leave the city.

So, are you ready for a day journey from being a tourist to living like a local? Prepare to uncover hidden gems, indulge in local experiences, and connect with the heartbeat of the city. Embrace the authenticity and let the locals guide you on a memorable adventure.

The Best of Edinburgh: A 3-Day Journey from Tourist to Local
Welcome to Edinburgh—Auld Reekie, the Athens of the North, the City Built on Top of Seven Hills! It’s the birthplace of economics and Harry Potter; the summer hangout of the Queen; the home of the Stone of Destiny, Dolly the Sheep, and deep-fried Mars bars.

Edinburgh is a bona fide gem: it encapsulates Scotland's progressive past, presents world class art and entertainment, and offers a glimpse at the nation’s rugged landscapes (bonus: best enjoyed from extinct volcanoes that loom over the city's horizon).

What does this Edinburgh itinerary include and who is it for?

This itinerary is designed to help you make the absolute most out of your time in Edinburgh. Using a local’s perspective means you save money where you can—“free” is a word used frequently in this guide—so you can indulge where you should.

You’ll be invited to high tea at the swankiest hotel in town, and then feast your eyes on breathtaking views overlooking Salisbury crags—and that’s just one afternoon.

If you're keen to enjoy famous art, live music, dynamic history, tasty food, quirky tales, and hillside hikes then this is the guide is for you!

Join me on a three-day tour that captures Edinburgh's best, by day and by night, and beckons you to explore the mysterious treasures tucked away in its nooks in crannies—where the magic awaits.

About the author of this guide:

Working as a certified historical guide in Edinburgh's Old Town, it is my privilege and pleasure to share a true local's experience and make each visitor feel at home in the royal heart of Scotland.

Packing tips for Edinburgh from the author:

- Warm clothes and comfortable shoes (public transportation is not necessary to explore one of the most compact and walking-friendly cities in Europe)
- Raincoat (the rumors are true, though rainstorms tend to be brief showers with rainbows often following suit; it's also a windy city, so save your umbrella)
- Camera (whether you're an expert or a novice, the frequently changing light—and weather—offers exceptional photographic opportunities)

Guarantee

At $5.99, the itinerary will pay for itself the first time you follow my advice on dining and traveling destinations. If you are unhappy with the itinerary for any reason, Amazon provides a full refund. What are you waiting for? Go get this itinerary and start exploring Edinburgh.
