Edinburgh is one of these cities, where you can actually visit the main highlights without paying a single penny. There are some attractions, which cost a fortune but believe me, you can still explore the city properly without visiting all of them (or even any of them). Looking for a place to stay in Edinburgh?

Climb the Arthur\u2019s Seat<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can climb Arthur\u2019s seat (the prominent hill in the Edinburgh city centre, which divides the city into two parts) to see the beautiful panorama of Edinburgh. The hike will take approximately 30 to 50 minutes (depending on your hiking skills, the level of tiredness and your gear &#8211; you won&#8217;t get far away wearing high heels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-1200x795.jpg\" alt=\"Most Instagrammable spots in Edinburgh, Scotland - tips from a local\" class=\"wp-image-4920\" width=\"646\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-1170x775.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-440x291.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369-585x387.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_2369.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"2_Watch_the_sunset_or_sunrise_on_Calton_Hill\">2. Watch the sunset or sunrise on Calton Hill<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite spot in Edinburgh to catch a sunset or a sunrise (I\u2019m more of a sunset person, though, you won\u2019t see me walking at 5 am, unless I\u2019m catching a flight somewhere) is Calton Hill. I must admit that in this place, Edinburgh really looks like Athens. In case you don\u2019t know &#8211; Edinburgh is sometimes compared to Athens and is also called &#8220;<br>Athens in the north\u201d. Most probably, the majority of Edinburgh photos you\u2019ve seen, feature Calton Hill, so it\u2019s a place, you shouldn\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-1024x631.jpg\" alt=\"15 absolutely free things do in Edinburgh, Scotland\" class=\"wp-image-2356\" width=\"683\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-1024x631.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-800x493.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-1170x721.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-440x271.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856-585x361.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_1113-e1495563437856.jpg 1627w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3_Admire_the_Edinburgh_Castle_from_the_Rooftop_of_the_National_Museum_of_Scotland\">3. Admire the Edinburgh Castle from the Rooftop of the National Museum of Scotland<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most museums in the UK are free and the National Museum of Scotland is not an exception. So why not to explore this amazing museum in your free time and also take the elevator to the rooftop terrace, from where you can see the Edinburgh castle. I honestly think that it\u2019s one of the best views of Edinburgh castle in the whole city and, besides, not many tourists are yet aware of this wonderful spot. You can take an advantage of it and escape the crowds for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36-888x1024.png\" alt=\"Most Instagrammable spots in Edinburgh, Scotland - tips from a local\" class=\"wp-image-4922\" width=\"634\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36-888x1024.png 888w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36-520x600.png 520w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36-768x886.png 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36-440x507.png 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36-585x675.png 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2018-09-20-at-23.35.36.png 1032w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4_Climb_the_Pentland_Hills\">4.

In Peatland Hills, there is a fair amount of hiking involved, but the view will be worth it. In case you\u2019re staying in Edinburgh for a week or even more, you can explore the Peatland Hills properly and even go for a day hike there (there are a beautiful lake, a forest and many great walks for outdoor activities lovers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-1026x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Most Instagrammable spots in Edinburgh, Scotland - tips from a local\" class=\"wp-image-4926\" width=\"642\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-1026x1024.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-601x600.jpg 601w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-1170x1168.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-440x439.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25-585x584.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.25.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"5_Walk_the_water_of_Leith_walkway\">5.

Sometimes even inside the city, you\u2019ll have to climb to get to the place, where you want to be. However, if you like to walk, but don\u2019t enjoy climbing, you can head to the Water of Leigh (it\u2019s better to start around Stockbridge) and walk it until you reach the Dean Village. The walk along the river is very pretty and picturesque!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-1035x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dean Village Non-touristy Edinburgh: 7 off-beaten path spots that are a must\" class=\"wp-image-3684\" width=\"656\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-1035x1024.jpg 1035w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-606x600.jpg 606w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-768x760.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-1170x1158.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-440x435.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218-585x579.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_7218.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"tripsget-20\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar_position = \"bottom\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Edinburgh guide books\";\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"Edinburgh Guide\";\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"Books\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"4813e397885397e66ecafc64d6d77641\";\namzn_assoc_default_browse_node = \"283155\";\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"6_Enjoy_the_Stockbridge_Market\">6.

Stockbridge is a very traditional Georgian district in Edinburgh New Town (one of the most expensive to live in terms of property prices) and it has its own market open during the weekend. You can find some local producers there as well as street food. In case you\u2019ve been to some food markets in London (like Borough Market or Greenwich Market), don\u2019t expect top much, because Stockbridge market is so much smaller, but it\u2019s still neat and great to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-1200x799.jpg\" alt=\"Stockbridge Market\" class=\"wp-image-2964\" width=\"646\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-585x389.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DSC05917.jpg 1953w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"6_Listen_to_traditional_Scottish_music_in_one_of_the_pubs\">6. Listen to traditional Scottish music in one of the pubs<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandy Bell\u2019s or Captain Jack\u2019s are some of the best Scottish pubs, where you can listen to traditional Scottish music. They are really tiny (and popular), so prepare to stand or be squeezed on a bench, but it\u2019s all worth it because the atmosphere is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"7_Go_on_a_free_walking_tour_around_Edinburgh\">7. Go on a free walking tour around Edinburgh<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Edinburgh is no exception and has a free walking tour around the city. It means that there is no fee that you have to pay for the tour, but at the end of the excursion, you can leave a gratuity for the guide (and it\u2019s pretty much up to you)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-1024x633.jpg\" alt=\"15 absolutely free things do in Edinburgh, Scotland\" class=\"wp-image-2353\" width=\"643\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-1024x633.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-800x494.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-768x475.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-1170x723.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-440x272.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52-585x362.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/FullSizeRender-52.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"8_Explore_the_most_photogenic_street_of_Edinburgh_8211_the_Circus_Lane\">8.

Personally, I prefer Victoria street (I think Victoria street should wear the crown for being the most beautiful street of entire Scotland), but Circus lane is quite special too. It\u2019s especially pretty in summer and it\u2019s not so popular or famous yet, so if you\u2019re lucky, you could snap a shot of this tiny street being completely empty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53-857x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Most Instagrammable spots in Edinburgh, Scotland - tips from a local\" class=\"wp-image-4927\" width=\"640\" height=\"765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53-857x1024.jpg 857w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53-502x600.jpg 502w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53-768x918.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53-440x526.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53-585x699.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen_Shot_2018-09-20_at_23.35.53.jpg 942w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"9_Have_a_picnic_in_the_Meadows\">9. Have a picnic in the Meadows<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Meadows is an enormous park in the heart of Edinburgh, just next to the University of Edinburgh. It\u2019s always full of students and adults walling with their dogs or kids. On a sunny day, people are usually having picnics there and some even buy a grill from a local Sainsburys to have a budget BBQ with friends. Why not take the most of the sunny day (especially, if you don\u2019t have enough time to move somewhere far) and chill in the Meadows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"15 absolutely free things do in Edinburgh, Scotland - picnic in Meadows\" class=\"wp-image-2354\" width=\"645\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-585x389.jpg 585w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/tripsget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC05742.jpg 1953w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"10_Read_a_book_at_the_Royal_Botanic_Garden\">10. Read a book at the Royal Botanic Garden<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another amazing place to spend some hours without paying anything is the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. It\u2019s amazing (but cold) in March because everything is blooming in the park, while in summer you can sit on a bench or on a throw and read a book (if it\u2019s warm enough. I usually get cold after 5 minutes of sitting still in Edinburgh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"11_Visit_the_Scottish_Parliament\">11. Visit the Scottish Parliament<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting and yet, a free attraction is the Scottish Parliament. There\u2019s nothing impressive inside, but you can see where the most decisions in Scotland are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"12_Grab_free_tickets_for_Edinburgh_Festival_Fringe\">12. Grab free tickets for Edinburgh Festival Fringe<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you\u2019re visiting Edinburgh during the Festivals time in August, especially at the beginning of the month, you can grab tickets for some performances for free. Read<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/2016\/04\/edinburgh-festival-everything-know-fringe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> this post for more information<\/a><\/strong> and general tips about Edinburgh Festivals and Edinburgh Festival Fringe in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"13_Enjoy_a_sunny_day_at_Portobello_Beach\">13. Enjoy a sunny day at Portobello Beach<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you\u2019re having a couple of sunny days in Edinburgh, consider yourself very lucky! In summer, it usually rains a lot in Edinburgh, but some summers are exceptional. Let\u2019s hope for the best. Did you know that there is a beach in Edinburgh? If you have free time, why not visit it? There are plenty of buses going to Portobello from the main street of Edinburgh, Princes street and the journey time is about 20-40 minutes (depending on the route). Don\u2019t forget to bring a warm jacket with you, because you\u2019re in Scotland and while it can be sunny and warm just now, in 15 minutes it will get very windy and after an hour it will eventually rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"14_Explore_the_Edinburgh_University\">14. Explore the Edinburgh University<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Edinburgh University is one of the most famous and prestigious universities in the world. Moreover, its Old College is really impressive and beautiful, so it\u2019s worth taking a look at it (and maybe even applying to study there).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"15_See_the_beautiful_St_Giles_Cathedral\">15. See the beautiful St. Giles Cathedral<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if your budget is low and you want to enjoy another one of 15 absolutely free things to do in Edinburgh, head to St. Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile. The entrance is free, but you need to pay about \u00a33 to take photos there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are much more things to do in <g class=\"gr_ gr_3 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"3\" data-gr-id=\"3\">Edinburgh,<\/g> if you find yourself with some spare time and money you must try one of these activities (read my post about <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"There are much more things to do in Edinburgh, if you find yourself with some spare time and money you must try one of these activities (read my post about the best tours to take in Edinburgh and 10 best attractions in Edinburgh (we tried them all).&nbsp; (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/2017\/08\/7-absolutely-best-edinburgh-tours-take\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>the best tours to take in Edinburgh<\/strong><\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"There are much more things to do in Edinburgh, if you find yourself with some spare time and money you must try one of these activities (read my post about the best tours to take in Edinburgh and 10 best attractions in Edinburgh (we tried them all).&nbsp; (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/tripsget.com\/2017\/06\/10-best-attractions-in-edinburgh-scotland\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>10 best attractions in Edinburgh (we tried them all).<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to read more about Edinburgh?
