Hi there! I'm Anne-Li - Danish girl, globetrotter, travel vlogger, blogger and digital nomad traveling the world with my partner in crime and long-term boyfriend Mathias. Spending a month in Budapest every summer taught us that traveling does not have to be expensive and that slow travel is the way to go - for us. We have been traveling full-time since September 2016, and we usually base ourselves in one place for at least a month or two. This way of traveling is not only budget friendly - it also means that we can take our time and really explore and enjoy the place we're in. We eat local food, shop at local markets, meet local people and enjoy experiencing different cultures - all the while seeking out the best wifi and exploring everything there is to explore. Everyday is another adventure, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Let's go!

I live in Edinburgh and I don’t think I’ve ever noticed the coloured buildings on Victoria Street. I’m usually 12/10 drunk cutting about that area to be fair.
Really? Maybe go there on the way to the pub next time 😀
I live in Edinburgh to
Check out Demijohn on Victoria street! Genuinely the best drink shop I know!
buggeroff 👍🏽 steins nines and lines
Lol!! I moved there about two years ago now and I just love the place!
I walk these streets every day on my way to work and back and don't appreciate how lucky I am. Your video reminded me how beautiful my home city is and I'll be more mindful to notice it from now on! Hope you enjoyed it x
Thank you, Angela! I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to go back 😍
As some one who walked Kings Stables Road daily for over 3 years, I have to say I truly am very sad to now live in London. - I will return, Edinburgh is my home just not right now.
I know what you mean I’ve lived here all my life and I always forget how lucky I am xx 🏴
You guys are so lucky! This is my dream to go to see your country one day. I’m from the Philippines ☺️☺️
If you love Scotland it loves you.
unless you are English
@@jayeevee1693 sweaty sock
Scotland, my Love! I'm German, but my heart is in Scotland. Edinburgh is the most beautiful capital in the world ❤
Da kann ich dir nur zu stimmen! ❤️
Aww we love you your welcome here
Islamabad is also one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. 😍
You sounded so enthusiastic and It was a breath of fresh. It is so easy to forget we are unique when we see it every day.
Thank you so much! Yes, it's easy to get used to something and forget to appreciate it. Thanks so much for watching 😀
I was actually teary eyed watching this because of how much I want to visit Scotland. I'm quite scared of planes but I'm really hoping to make the trip soon.
@@JennyAngel999 I hope you make it and if you're scared of flying, just think of it as being on a bus and zone out xx
“See how scottish it looks outside my window” hahah
It’s weird seeing someone getting so excited about the place you grew up, we definitely don’t appreciate it like we should
It's so beautiful.
Krung Krung the city center is, but scottish folk dont live there!
It's so true , I'm looking forward to going there very soon, It's a dream city , If I get to know it I'd die of emotion .
I loved seeing Edinburgh through someone else's eyes. I was born and raised in Edinburgh and watching this really made me realise what a beautiful city I live in. Also didn't realise I used to walk past the writers museum every day. You're teaching me things about my own city!
Nice job, it’s always fun seeing your home City, through an outsider’s eyes.
I was born and raised in Edinburgh. Our first house was at the bottom of Victoria Street, for the first six months of my life.
Then we moved down the Cowgate to Guthrie Street.
Where we lived, until I joined the Army at 18 years old. After three years, my family has moved to a “Nicer” part of town.
But I’m talking through the 1940’s to 1959. Ancient History to you.
But it was a marvelous City to grow up in.
For me and my Friends, a short walk to the Castle and Royal Mile. Back then entry to the Castle was free. As were most Museums and Art Galleries.
During the Winter we spent many hours, in the Scottish Museum. One reason, free and warm and fun exhibits.
I recall an old story, you reminded me of, an American asking a local Scot, directions, but couldn’t understand the man’s accent. Then a Man from Sweden came by, and translated the directions to the American. Thought that was hilarious.
Hope you enjoy your visit, and get around to out of the way spots. Like that Graveyard.
In my time there, I only saw Greyfriars, and were my Grandma was buried.
When you mentioned the temperature, I knew the real reason I emigrated to Los Angeles. Lol
Thanks for your fun vlog and have fun there.
Wow, John, thank you so much for your comment! That was a really interesting read! 😀It must've been amazing to grow up in Edinburgh. Haha, I love that story! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave such an interesting comment. I hope you enjoy life in LA!
Ho let's go!
You made me laugh and a wee bit homesick. Even though I love Los Angeles.
But miss just walking around and the History and all those authors I read growing up.
You didn’t bring up Sir Arthur Doyle, of Sherlock Holmes game. After a Doctor Bell, who assisted the Police in solving crimes. Just so many stories. Easy to love the City. I’m sure I can’t blame you, but it rained hard here yesterday. Much needed of course. Lol maybe you should get a pat on the back, for sending us that rain. Enjoy yourself 😀
@@johnbisset4504 I used to hangout at the museum mostly on Sundays in the winter in the mid 80's for the same reason lol but also to chase the girls 😮😆
@TheDevilWearsPrada
I love that you used the Museum for “courtship “ sorta. Lol
Wish I could have done that to.
But most of my time back then was spent on the models, and coins etc
Those pre puberty days, you know, when girls were kind of “Yucky” almost alien creatures to we laddies.
Although I did see a few very attractive “Old” ladies there. Students at Edinburgh University. In there 20’s.
Oh how sweet it would have been to be even ten years older. Instead of just ten years old. Lol
Not sure, but going to an all boys Catholic School, set me back years.
Just my luck, the year after I graduated, it went Coed. Talk about bad timing.
Thankfully I learned so much more after joining the Army. Getting tips, usually awful ones, but nice having a wing man, cheering me on.
Thankfully eventually I did improve. But like the rest of us guys, won some, lost some. Lol
@@@craigleith100 That made me laugh, and brought up one Memory of a huge crush, I had on a female Gym Teacher,
Where we were forced to learn some dances. Trust me, I wasn't the only really shy lad. She had the figure, that definitely aroused libido. Even though I didn't at the time. what that feeling was. I sure did feel something, definitely.
So she definitely was an older woman, and I do mean woman.
One problem I did face though, even in the army, yes I was Eighteen, but looked fifteen, so most of my approaches to girls, was " Come back, when you grow up, kid ".
I complained to my Sergeant about it, he said " Trust me when you're 40, you'll be happy". Nice to hear, but not exactly the advice was looking for. Of course was in my 'Civvies', but did better in Uniform and my best bud, backing me up, till I could do it on my own. I have to admit, I usually ended up dating younger women.
As strange as it sounds, even today, when I tell people I'm 80 years old, they don't believe it. So guess my Sergeant was right.
so now, I'm on the lookout for those Ladies with Social Security and Medicare. And aren't as hard for me to catch up with .lol
I’ve lived here for ten years and the city always takes my breath away....apart from when I’m trying to get through the bastard thing on my way to work 😠. It’s an absolutely beautiful amazing and welcoming place. So happy you enjoyed it
Haha, I can see why! I loved it 😍Can't wait to go back!
I was there in EDINBURGH last year and i loved it more than London. Peaceful and less rushy.
I absolutely love the fact that on your first day alone in Scotland you ended up in the pub until closing time “pished “
Hahaha welcome 🙏 To Scotland .
She is walking through a cemetery and says no one here. There are plenty of people in a cemetery. They are just dead
My bad. I guess I'll have to be more specific in future videos 😉
There are only bodies....the spirits (soul) left the planet upon death. I thought she meant that no one was there visiting.
😁thought too many visits to the cemetery too
You're funny af!
😂😂 yer mad mate
Loved this Video... I have lived in Edinburgh for nearly 50 years and saw more in this video than I've managed in all that time.
I was married to a scotsman from Falkirk he is so kind so generous so protective to me .. we got married only for 2 1/2 yrs 7yrs of waiting but its worth the wait but he was taken from me that instant .. i went to visit my inlaws and his children last 2 yrs ago .. i fell inlove w/Scotland my 1st time to see Edinburgh Castle along w/my husband's siblings it was a great sight to see .. but being in that place w/o your first love is still heartbreaking for me i cant walk in the streets w/o tears in my eyes longing for him 😔
Hi Im from Falkirk too ..so sorry for your loss 😧
@@isobelmayes5274 thank you
So sorry for your loss, God bless you.
@trek2space he died after 2 1/2 yrs .. after our marriage he had a massive heart attack w/o any symptoms he is just complaining about his heartburn but i was in doubt i wanted to take him to the doctors but he said he is fine no need
@trek2space im trying to move on .. its a challenge for me but i cant stay mourning forever .. indeed Scots are caring yet that attitude they think they can make it w/o them telling you they are fine not to worry and nothing is wrong .. but what was done has been done.. im just greatful that i meet fall inlove and married him .. no regrets at all ❤💖💓
Best decision I ever made, was moving to Edinburgh from Glasgow. Fantastic city.
Ha naw
Nae chance
This was exactly my reaction!! I went a few years ago and all of my fantasies and more were fulfilled by Edinburgh alone, not even touching on the beauty of the Highlands. I was enraptured from the moment I stepped off the train and into the streets.
Ahh my beautiful city Edinburgh
I’m proud to be Scottish 🏴🏴
It's stunning! I would be too 😍
*lucky
Fuel I live in the city to love it
You are absolutely right, it is beautiful !! I love Edinburgh!!
fuel..............well get a scottish passport.
I think it's a testament to the friendliness of Scots that none of the Scottish commenters here gave you a hard time about your pronunciation of Edinburgh.
Your visit to the cemetery reminded me of a saying: The difference between North America and Great Britain is:: 200 years is a long time to an American, while 200 miles is a long distance to a Briton.
Her pronunciation sounded quite good to me, makes a difference from edinburg or edinburrow that tourists usually say.
I’m from Edinburgh and I thought her pronunciation was just fine. As the comment above says, a lot better than ‘Edinboro’ or ‘Edinburg’!
How you callin scottish folk britons? Why not just call us europeans vs north americans
On the border, going north, the sign says 'Welcome to Scotland'
On the way back, it says 'England, you're welcome to it'!! 😂
but you keep taking the £
You have completely captured Edinburgh all the way down to finding drunk guys to chat to in the pub on a Monday night. X
Her sheer joy in things that we think so ordinary was delightful.
This video reminded me about how unappreciative I am about the place I live, this reminded me to appreciate the opportunities I have to explore and find beauty in Edinburgh.
Loved this video💖💖💖
Me too :)
Despite the rivalry between Edinburgh and my city of Glasgow, I do admit Edinburgh is pretty special. Thanks for the video.
Sometimes I wish I was a weegie
Yep, that's a totally Scottish communal back garden espied from your tenement eyrie, found nowhere else on Earth, and yet strangely absent from calenders and shortbread tins, and rarely seen by tourists in pre air b n' b days.
Yes, how did we live before Airbnb? I loved waking up to that view! 😍
Air BnB is a plague that is ripping out the heart of my beautiful city and destroying communities.
There are over 10,000 of these black market "mini-hotels" operating in Edinburgh. Thousands of residents have been driven out to have their homes turned into unauthorised tourist businesses. @@parahandy6294
I loved the view of the backs of the tenaments at night, back when i lived in Edinburgh
From Australia two of my favourite cities are Edinburgh and Inverness. The drive between the 2 either by Aberdeen or near Perth is beautiful and amazingly quiet. A beautiful country. Very friendly. Love the cobbled streets and Queen St.
I can see it in your face that your breathe has been taken away by Scotland.
However, this is only the city side of Scotland. I can 110% Assure you that if you ever get the chance you must visit Loch Lomand, Glencoe (Personal Fav), Isle of Skye and the Fairy Pools, Isle of Harris for the most amazing beaches in the world.
I am in the process of making a channel to take people on my photographic adventures and have a big plan written out.
It has been a pleasure to watch your videos. I think you should visit a Whiskey Distillery or even go to a place that makes Scottish Beer.
Robin Malone I agree, anywhere in the Highlands and Islands, rural Scotland is so beautiful! 🏔🏞
Rob it's whisky in Scotland. Whiskey is Irish.....just saying
Totally agree! Despite Edinburgh being so beautiful, there’s a few other places that top it. My personal favourite is the Highlands though I may be biased as I was born there but it is a beautiful place
Have you got you channel started, I would subscribe!
The most beautiful beach that I ever walked on is called 'Bertha's Beach' in east Falkland where the sand is purple and occupied by penguins.
I love Edinburgh. I'm from Dublin and I've been 3 times now. Once on my own as my first solo trip (same as you) Will be back.
Edinburgh is a beautiful place and very vibrant, lots to see and do and the folk are very welcoming, I'm proud to say it's my home 😊
I can understand why you are proud! It's amazing! 😍
The people are welcoming my arse!! Come to Glasgow instead! 👌🤣
@@GooseMcSwan, well that's a typical weedgie response!
It's either 🇮🇪 or 🇬🇧 in glasgi?
Try Northern Ireland instead?
@@GooseMcSwan The people she met were other tourists wearing all that tartan shit they paid a fortune fur
I love Edinburgh too
I love how excited you are to be in Edinburgh 🏴🏴🏴🏴
FINALLY A VLOG WHERE THEY SHOW THE SCENERY INSTEAD OF THE CONSTANT SELFIES (ENDLESS ADVENTURE, WAY AWAY, EVERYONE ELSE)...
Thanks 😄
I went to Edinburgh unplanned, I was in shock how beautiful the city was, one of the best trip in my life. I love seeing you fangirling and giddy over this trip, brought me back to 2 years ago. Thx for this video!
Scotland you are truly a beauty, like really!!!!
I always pinch myself on how lucky I am to live here. There's something very rewarding about watching people coming to Edinburgh and saying how beautiful it is. Thank You.
Couldn't agree more! It's such a wonderful city!
I'm from near Glasgow but going to Edinburgh uni soon so I'll need to look around more. So lucky to be Scottish ♡
I’m visiting Edinburgh in less than 2 months and this made me even more excited if that were even possible ahah ❤️
I'm so happy to hear that! Have a great time 💙
I went to Edinburgh last year and totally fell in love. I miss it so much!
Same
wow, I am about to go to edinburgh for the first time with my children. I never searched it online but went on youtube and it recommended me. I am so thankful to youtube to recommend your video. The kind of amazing things people do by showing us the new place and I know where to go and what to do. Thank you so much
I was born in Edinburgh and you’ve been to more places in Edinburgh than me 😂🏴
Sometimes it takes someone else, wandering about all wide-eyed at seeing places you are very familiar with, to make you realise what a fantastic city Edinburgh is. Thank you for doing that.
Thank you for watching! Enjoy your beautiful city 💛
I'll be going on my first solo trip in a few months... and I've chosen Edinburgh as well! I was so nervous and scared about traveling so far on my own, but your video reaffirmed that I NEED to do this! Thanks!
Waking up feeling rough after your first night out in Edinburgh... Very, very normal. Still happens to me when I visit and I just live an hour up the road.
You are welcome to Scotland anytime.
That's so sweet! Thank you ❤
Malcolm Macdonald am I allowed in
Hehe, just found your series of videos in Edinburgh as we’re planning our own trip and these are so good. I can appreciate your candidness about feeling awkward travelling/dining/taking photos as a solo traveller. It’s not easy but you took it in stride. 😍 I also love your enthusiasm and instant love for the city. I feel like I’ll be the same way when we go. Can’t wait! 😄❤️🏴
I so LOVED your video! I also went to Edinburgh, Scotland all by myself for a dream vacation. Everything you said I can validate! I remember breathing the air of Edinburgh was like breathing home for me. I stayed in New Town but it looks like you were in Old Town - must do that next time. Oh, don't forget to go to the Prince Street Gardens. It is so beautiful and I met a local lady - had a wonderful chat with her. Then I ended up laughing with 3 Dutch ladies on the benches. It was a delightful day there. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you so much, Valentina! It sounds like you had an amazing time in Edinburgh as well 😍I actually stayed near Haymarket and really liked that area.
I have visited Edinburgh twice. Last spring my husband and I visited 7 countries during 5 weeks for his retirement trip. Edinburgh is where my heart and soul sings. The Highlands were beautiful and Loch Lomand's Luss is so pretty. My ancestors left at the Port of Leith in 1683 and something in my DNA keeps pulling me there. Wish I could afford to live there.
This is so fun! Solo travel is something I'd love to do but scares me. Edinburgh would be the perfect place to start.
It really helps me appreciate the sheer beauty of my home town when I watch vlogs like this. Thank You! Seeing you fall in love with the place makes me proud.
Glad you enjoyed Edinburgh I loved your vlog and felt so proud of my city; you made it sound so exciting and mysterious and beautiful, please come back soon x
I LOVE Outlander! I'm going on a tour to all of the places that the show was filmed in with family soon! Can't wait
Me too! Would love to do that someday! 💛
this makes me miss Edinburgh. Was just there a month ago. really wanna go back. good job girl
So proud to be from Edinburgh. Born and raised there only recently moved down to England as I now have my own family (aged 20) I’m now staying where my partners from but I really miss Edinburgh it’s such a beautiful city. I’m always in awe at how beautiful it is and how photogenic the city is
Omg I live in Edinburgh, and it’s so weird seeing all the places I walk by everyday in this way and with such a lovely commentary. I’m traditionally a West Coast gal and then moved to the centre when I was a teenager, and so often I don’t feel that connected to Edinburgh, but your video that makes me feel just a bit happier to be here 😄🏴
Also side note- I know this sounds odd but any graves or sites from 1850 onwards, is considered “old” but not “old old” cause so much of the country is ancient 😄 there’s a grave in my parents town from the 1600’s!
It's nice to have these different perspectives on our city. Those of us who are natives tend to take it too much for granted, I think.
Hey this video came up on my suggested videos. I'm from Glasgow area not far from Edinburgh. Hope you enjoy yourself.
Thank you! I really did :D
Nice vlog love your child like enthusiasm , it shows you really are happy and excited to be somewhere .. enjoy your trips and keep vlogging . May We in the UK and Scotland treat you like an old friend on your travels .
Have lived in edinburgh 16 years and am still as excited as you are when I walk through town!
Amazing! 😍
Love your video, that's exactly how I felt when I visited Ireland 2 years ago! It was so nice to know that places like that still exist from what we imagined them to be. I'm going back there in the spring and also visiting England and Scotland. Can't wait to go especially after seeing this.Thanks for posting.
I love Edinburgh, it’s one of the few places I would want to live. It has a wonderful feeling and truly amazing people, they’re very warm and friendly. My Grandfather was from Peebles and lived in Edinburgh, he was really lucky. Time for another trip up there 😍
You're absolutely right! The atmosphere is so amazing 😀
He widnae be able to afford to stay there noo tho - shame
@matthew Campbell - You obviously haven't met the right people when you have been there. I guess the reality is that in every city you will have a mixture of personalities. Hope you meet the warm and friendly ones the next time you visit. ❤
Grace X Well I come from London, if you think it’s bad up there you should see how rude people are down here. I suppose that I’m so used to London people that if anyone’s nice I really notice it ❤️
Grace X you must live near the centre then eh because it’s no like that away from town
Really cool Video. Hats off to travelling on your own. If you travel anywhere, Scotland is always safe and people are really friendly. Edinburgh is a great city for meeting new people
Things always look so different to a tourist. When you actually live in that place completely different perspective. Scotland certainly isn't a place you go to for the weather
I really liked the video! It was so nice to see how open minded and enthusiastic you were. I also find it great to see somebody traveling alone for once :) I will spend one year in Scotland all by myself. I am as happy as I am nervous about it...
I loved your Edinburgh vlogs! My husband and I visited last summer and honestly, I'm so like you. I would have probably gone back the day after leaving. There is just something about it. Jealous you visited in autumn! It looks even more Scottish and wonderful.
Aw, thanks so much, Kristina! It must have been amazing in the summer as well 😍
Lived here all my life. My two fav places are Edinburgh and the highlands As a mason there’s no more beautiful city than Edinburgh but you have to walk around looking up at all the stunning buildings. If your there best time to wander around is in summer when the suns up but everyone is asleep. You get Edinburgh to yourself for a few hours x🏴💜
I've just watched your video with my students! Nikos, Greece. (coming to Edinburgh on May 23rd for the Marathon, running for Macmillan Cancer Support).
I was born, and raised in Edinburgh, but never learned to appreciate, and love the city, until years after my 17 birthday, when I left. It was just home, and, as a child, I felt safe and happy, as do most children, regardless of where they were raised. The last time ( and it probably is the last time ) that I saw Edinburgh, was 2001.
The most beautiful country in the world #welcome
If you’re still here
It's stunning!
Oh, that's so nice of you, but I'm in Thailand right now :)
No new zealand is, it bloody rains and snows to much here.
Ho let's go! Not to worry there’s always next time you’re welcome back anytime 🙃
Enjoyed very much your record of your stay in my home city.
Your enjoyment of and enthusiasm for Edinburgh comes over very clearly.
Haste ye back!
this was the best blog about Edinburgh I have seen yet!!! I was looking for a vlog that also showed the beautiful town itself and you captured its beauty ina avery nice and individual way! Love it! keep it up!
Thank you so much!
This has got to be the best travel vlog I have seen yet. Its perfect, everything I want to see and it's great to hear your thoughts throughout the day. 😍 Thank YOU
Thank you so much, Abbe! I'm so happy to hear that 💙🙏😊
I'm born and bred here 36 years now and aint stepped foot in a few places you did, gid vlog
Honestly u didnt sound stupid at all, cuz I understand the way you feel, having a dream of something for a long time and finally living up to that! I know the feeling plus.. Scotland is like one of a kind majestic place in the world..! In fact if u didn't freak our I'd be surprised. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Solo travel is the best. Especially in Ireland. People just invite themselves to your table to talk.
I was born and raised in Edinburgh and I agree it is such a pretty city. The buildings are amazing and looks like a movie scene! I would also recommend walking right down the royal mile and climbing Arthur seat. Also there is a amazing bar on the royal mile called whiski bar, this is where you will get a real Scottish experience, really a unique bar with live music every night (Scottish). Its usually really busy! And you should go to the medows near the museum.
Highlands are the best place to go in the summer 😊 I really recommend going to the west coast during July
I would love to go to the highlands in summer. I hope I can do it next year :)
Ho let's go! If u can go up to Orkney it’s beautiful and amazing! x
Love this video! Glad u had a great time here! Love the enthusiasm, and your really pretty so that helps!
In Edinburgh and you say "I'm off out to see if I can find a pub" !!!
And then I didn't even find a pub...
brochestedbs 😑
To be fair Hundreds have closed now since I started Drinking in 1978 all the pubs I used to frequent are gone!
@@Holetsgo Rose Street. When I was a student in the 80s one of the things you had to do was a Rose Street pub crawl. More than 20 pubs on one street. I claim I managed it (one drink in each pub) though by the end my memory was definitely hazy :)
Keith Wright Then they can’t even do 12 in the worlds end 😂
I spent 2.5 weeks touring Scotland by myself last fall - it was perfect. Edinburgh was amazing, I can’t wait to go back. Eating alone is the hardest part...
The bird sound its so relaxing 😍 how i wish i can go also in scotland
Studied here a few years back. My exact feelings when I first landed. Thank you so much for bringing those memories back.
Glad she never stumbled into Niddrie on the wrong bus because her vlog could have went south very quickly 😂😂😂
I went to Niddrie Marschal 51-54 when living in Bingham , i see Niddrie got demolished like Bingham , houses in Bingham were freezing in winter .
I’m from Edinburgh, and it’s so weird knowing EXACTLY were you are in every clip lol
You went out to eat but we only saw you drink :p. You did a nice job with with the video for being a solo traveller. And you looked very relaxed.
Haha, yes. There's a very simple explanation. I decided to do it the other way around and start out with a beer and then eat, but I never got to dinner, and suddenly it was 1 in the morning 😅
You look like a local or at least you look like you go to university in Edinburgh :) maybe thats why the guy asked you for directions 😂 well done tho on getting around by yourself! Next time you're in Scotland give Glasgow a visit :)
Probably! That was a proud moment for me 😄I'd love to visit Glasgow! Hope to do that soon 🙂
Well trying to find a Scottish person in Edinburgh to ask wouldnt be all that easy
@@williamf4544 in what way?
@@Holetsgo Glasgow is great but try and get out of the central belt too. Aberdeen has a city centre cemetery with graves from the 1600's and the locals use it like a public park so you aren't likely to find it empty even on a Monday morning. Also the amazing granite buildings. And Dundee is one of the most creative cities in the UK if not the world. An amazing waterfront with the new V&A museum and home to marmalade.
I lived in this neighbourhood...every once in a while I take a walk just to drink it in. I've travelled far and wide and I have to say Edinburgh is exceptionally beautiful and a wonderful place to live, although sometimes it's frustrating to live somewhere and not be able to afford to do many of the things you would like to. Having said that, there are beautiful parks and walks that cost nothing, bars that have great music, festivals with free performances (although accommodation costs go through the roof when festivals are on). If you do have a fair budget available, a special treat is to take afternoon tea at the Collonades at the Signet Rooms just behind St Giles Cathedral on the High Street. A special dinner I would go to Rhubarb at Prestonfield Hotel. St Giles Cathedral is a must see. For wonderful greek bakery go to Greek Artisan Pastries on Bread Street, and for a treasure trove of vintage and antique furniture, lights, clothes, jewellry, go to Aquarius on the corner of Spittal Street. For posh drinks go to Tiger Lily on George Street, it's really great ambience. If you are on a shoestring, Edinburgh has lots of reasonable little takeaways, cafes and restaurants around Bread Street, Westport, Clerk Street, Morrison Street. I've never been to Wings on Old Fishmarket Close, but my kids tell me it is very very tasty and very very reasonable :)
Hello, i really like Edinburgh , i was twice there and hope to go back soon , especially if Scotland not leave EU :D
YESSSS!! I want to go to Scotland so much because of the Outlander show!! Im from Brazil and a trip to Scotland would be very expensive from here, but maybe one day i'll have the chance to meet this wonderful country (especially the Highlands) ♥️
If you’re still in town try Henderson’s vegan restaurant on Thistle Street, amazing food. They also have a veggie deli and restaurant just round the corner.
Unfortunately, I'm not. I'm in Thailand at the moment, but thank you! I'll remember it for next time 😀
"everything looks exactly as it's supposed to". I love that comment.
Love your video ..thanks for sharing ..I believe my soul got trapped in Scotland so I have to go there ...
It’s so weird to see someone being so enthusiastic about something I see every day and I didn’t really think that it’s that interesting to have a video made about it 😂 it really is amazing though. So proud to be Scottish ✌🏻🏴
Thank you Anne-Li for your video! Really enjoyed your tour of Edinburgh! Great to see all the sights and to hear your observations. Really like your music choices! Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Looking forward to watching your upcoming videos! Thumbs up!
Thank you so much, Mike! So happy you're watching 😀
Go to Muirhouse, pilton, and sighthill on your next visit
Proud to be Scottish! 🏴
Anne-Li, you pretty much follow in the footsteps of my first day in Edinburgh in 1988, even down to staying near Haymarket. I originally went there for a holiday, but ended up staying for 16 years!! As Billy Connolly said about Edinburgh, you can leave then go back in 100 years and it will still be the same!
i’m so happy to be scottish, edin ma city!
Nice video.
Edinburgh is one of my favorite cities in Europe. The Scotts are very friendly and down to earth. It's a perfectly safe city. Solo travel is amazing. I've taken fifteen solo trips to various parts of the world and I had the best time and also met great people. Go for it- do research and you'll be fine

Edinburgh is a wonderful city. Did you visit the National Museum of Scotland? They have the history of the mobile phone, 3 of my old phones were on display lol
It really is! Yes, I did 😀It's gonna be in the next video! BUT I didn't have much time there, so unfortunately I didn't see that. I would've loved that though 😄
Had my first solo trip earlier this year to Edinburgh too. My favourite place. I'm a new subscriber and love your channel.
