Scotland’s capital city is jam-packed with activities for every type of visitor - from cozy bookshops and historic landmarks to hill walks. It’s no surprise that millions of people flock to Edinburgh every year to soak up its splendour.
But with so much to do, deciding what to see during a trip to the city can be tricky.
Checking out the reviews of the main attractions of a city before visiting is always sensible to avoid any disappointments or wasting your cash.
To make it easier, MG Timber and Online Marketing Surgery have created an Edinburgh attraction report - compiling the ultimate top ten list of highest reviewed things to do in the city, according to TripAdvisor reviews.
The list is based on TripAdvisor’s ‘traveller rankings’, which ranks places and attractions based on the quality, recency, and quantity of traveller reviews.
Here’s all the sites that made it on to the top ten.
