What The Dickins: A Tale Of Edinburgh City

Get Romantic in Edinburgh this February

Self-Catering Apartments, Dickins

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most romantic cities, and here are our recommendations for the most romantic things to do in this fabulous city.

Catch a film at The Dominion

Share a sofa, snuggle up, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch a movie at the family owned Dominion Cinema. One of our favourite pastimes – especially as it’s Oscar season!

Enjoy a meal to remember

Edinburgh has some of the most romantic restaurants in Edinburgh. Italian food and passion go hand in hand, don’t they? Eat below ground level at Edinburgh’s finest Italian Restaurant Wine Bar, Divino Enoteca.  It’s a  hidden gem in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town yet only minutes from the bustle of the city.

Candles and exposed stone walls make for flattering lighting – perfect for a special date night!
