My favourite place is the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh where you can spend all day either by yourself or with your family. They have a lovely cafe where you can enjoy tea, coffee and lunch, or you can take your lunch and have a picnic too.

My highest recommendation for Edinburgh is to spend the day exploring the neighbourhood of Leith. There's lots to do when it comes to cuisine, with some of the best restaurants, cafes and bars in the city, as well as lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy.

My favourite thing to do in Edinburgh is to go to Princes Street Gardens. It's a nice little safe haven from the bustle of the city with lots of nice plants to look at while you take a walk, it's just a really nice space!

If you want to explore more of Edinburgh, our other blogs 48 hours in Edinburgh, The best Edinburgh shore excursions and How to get to The Royal Yacht Britannia are great resources for planning your visit.
