Things to do

• Drinking
  Forth Floor, Harvey Nichols

  St Andrew Square, Central New Town
  A new space has been created for cool folk to sip on a cocktail or too. Good vibe, great views both out of the window and behind the bar. Good selection of cocktails. You can sit outside in the summer and take in the stunning Edinburgh rooftop views.

• Drinking
  The Barony Bar

  81 Broughton Street, East New Town
  Great character pub on one of Edinburgh's most popular streets. A fire is always cracking in the winter, great selection of ales, good buzz and reasonable pub grub. Can be smoky but that will all change with the smoking ban.

• Eating
  Giuliano's

  18-19 Union Place, Hillside/East New Town, 556 6590
  We just love it! You are always guaranteed great over the top Italian service. Plenty to choose from on the menu, busy, ideal post/pre theatre spot. Don't expect a quiet night as this restaurant which is very popular with birthday parties etc, but it all adds to the party atmosphere.

  Calton Hill is a relatively easy walk, with the best breathtaking panoramic views of the city and a number of interesting follies and monuments to explore. The view down Princes Street is particularly impressive. All sorts of events take place here including Hogmanay, the summer solstice and other Pagan events which can be energetic and a spectacle, including dancers and fire eaters. It’s not advised to visit at night.

• Places of Interest
  National Portrait Gallery

  1 Queen Street Central New Town 624 6200

The collection includes work not only by Scottish artists but by great English, European and American masters such as Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Rodin and Kokoschka.

There's a great café here too selling delicious home made food and some hard to resist cakes.

• Shopping
  Valvona and Crolla

  Elm Row, Hillside.
  Valvona and Crolla is one of Edinburgh's greatest institutions and a must do for 'foodies'. Every single shelf is dripping with all sorts of delicious Italian produce and display fridges stuffed with authentic cheeses and meats. Well worth the visit but you may have sharp intake of breath when they tell you how much you owe at the counter! There's a café attached to the shop serving great breakfasts and lunches. Award winning Italian wine selection.
