Now, we know you love us for our Road Trip Guidebooks, which are packed with epic must-see dentations, detailed itineraries, and no-nonsense travel tips. So, we’ve taken that same down-to-earth, no-fuss approach and brought it to the city. After the success of our Dublin City Guide, we knew it was time to do the same for one of the UK’s most iconic destinations: Say Hello to Edinburgh!
If you’re planning a dedicated city break or simply want to bolt it onto your exciting road trip adventure, this handy pocket guide has it all. Additionally, if you’ve been before and are thinking, well I’ve seen it all, this book might just surprise you! It has local highlights and some secret spots that are less well known among tourists.
Well, honestly, we write like we talk, think of it as a mate giving you the best insider advice over a pint. That’s what we do! We provide practical, no-fuss, and honest advice that will really make your trip more enjoyable.
Similarly to all our guidebooks, we’ve scouted out the best places to eat, drink and stay. Not only that, but we’ve also listed the must-see attractions and experiences. It features our own personal (usually funny stories), inspiring photography and recommendations from our time spent there.
So, if you need a few more reasons to twist your arm into getting this guidebook – here’s why…
This isn’t just a list of the famous places you already know. Yes, we’ve included the big names like Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, and the Royal Mile. But we’ve also gone beyond. We’ve discovered the hidden spots locals love, cool independent shops, mouth-watering eateries and green spaces you probably wouldn’t find on your own. If you’re a first-timer or have been before, we guarantee you’ll find new favourites!
Sure, scrolling through Instagram and TikTok might feel more exciting, but let’s be honest, it’s time-consuming, and not always reliable. You might find a couple of trendy spots… or you might end up disappointed when it’s a “Insta vs. reality” moment. We’ve done the hard work for you. Everything in this guide is based on first-hand recommendations, not just pretty pictures. These are real places we’ve actually visited and loved.
Our guide has a clean, modern layout designed to make your trip easier. Colour-coded districts help you plan by area. Useful icons also let you quickly spot what you’re looking for, whether it’s a coffee shop, a place to stay or a must-see.
When planning a city break, your usually tight on time, and trying to squeeze in 100 different things…it can soon become overwhelming. That’s why within this guide, we’ve broken it all down for you. Inside, you’ll find suggested itineraries based on how long you’re staying. As well as tips on how to get around, where to stay, and how to enjoy the city without blowing your budget.
We’ve made finding your way around Edinburgh completely stress-free. Every must-see, eatery, and hotel in the book includes a what3words code, so you can pinpoint exact locations with ease. Plus, to make things even simpler, we’ve added a scannable QR code for each place that links straight to Google Maps. No more getting lost in winding closes or faffing with directions that’s for sure!
This isn’t your average guidebook packed with bland listings and boring blurbs. We’ve added personality, humour, and real-life stories from our time exploring Edinburgh. It really does feel like you’ve got a mate showing you around. You’ll find fun facts, behind-the-scenes from photoshoots, and honest thoughts on what’s worth your time (and what’s not). It’s full of local insight, real recommendations, and first-hand knowledge.
Let’s face it, when you visit a place like Edinburgh, you want to make the most of every minute. You don’t want to waste time in underwhelming cafés or be walking aimlessly trying to figure out what’s nearby. This guide helps you travel smarter, see more, and stress less. It’s not about ticking off a list. It’s all about exploring with confidence, discovering things you’d never have found otherwise, and feeling like you really got to know the city.
They say the best things come in small packages, and we promise this pocket-sized Edinburgh guidebook certainly doesn’t disappoint.
