Edimburgo

Where to stay
mapAccommodation overview

Edinburgh is a city divided between historic charm and Georgian elegance. For 2026, licensing policies for short-term rentals have become more stringent, which adds further value to established and licensed accommodations.

  • Old Town: Ideal for those who want to be just steps away from Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the medieval atmosphere. It is the most touristy and bustling area.
  • New Town: The heart of Georgian sophistication. Perfect for shopping, fine dining, and easy access to public transport (trams and trains at Waverley Station).
  • Stockbridge: A hidden gem, characterized by its "urban village" feel, Sunday markets, and the Water of Leith. Ideal for those who prefer a more residential and peaceful stay.
  • Leith: The revitalized port district. It is the city’s gastronomic hub, perfect for those seeking modernity and proximity to the Royal Yacht Britannia.
