Tour description
Beyond the postcard sights, Edinburgh has a bold creative side, and on this walking tour a local guide leads you into the alternative quarters, street-art lanes and modern cultural spaces where the city expresses itself today. This is the Edinburgh of muralists, independent makers and neighbourhood energy.
You will hunt for striking murals and graffiti, explore a bohemian or revitalised industrial district, and hear about the artists, movements and subcultures that shape the city. Along the way your guide shares the stories behind the walls and the best independent spots. Fresh and surprising, this is the creative Edinburgh.
