Thanks!

I had seen the first thread but not the second, thanks for the link. Leith walk isn't a must do, but I like to see secondhand shops in other places, you see interesting things. Someone had said I could find some there.

Thanks much. Yes, the castle is the only must do for my husband, well skip the yacht, and palace is optional, depending on time. Museums and walking , Calton hill and the flower clock, will fit in. Thanks for the italian deli recommendation, we always need to eat 😊

Thank you for replying. I do put a bit on the schedule, then I can pull things off if time flying. We do have two evenings there, we come in Wednesday morning at 10, our flight out is Friday afternoon, so that morning is just packing and breakfast. I saw tickets are posted for the castle, my husband wants to see. Do you think the hoho bus is worth it? That will have entrance to the castle, so I shouldn't buy my own, correct? I'm more interested in museums, and just walking about to see the city.

Thanks much for the info. Our hotel is near the train station but I thought we'd walk up Leith walk. I don't have an interest to see the yacht, but good to know can get to the Botanical garden on that bus route. I was looking at the Day ticket, but we may just be walking most everywhere. I'll look at the 48 hr bus you linked, thank you. Any place recommended to visit? May aim for National museum of Scotland and the medical museum. I need to map it out yet, so can do it all in a row. Mary's close? Thanks again for help, Gaby

Thanks for this post and all the replies. We will be in Edinburgh for 2 days in September after our cruise, would like to see the castle and Holyrood, the Botanical garden, national gallery, writer's museum. Some bookshops, climb up for a view if we have the weather. I wondered about getting to Leith walk. Any other recommendations? We arrive about 10 am on a Wednesday by train, leave for Edinburgh airport about 10 am on Friday. Thanks for any tips! Gaby
