A UNESCO World Heritage Site characterised by striking Georgian and neo-classical architecture, cobbled crescents and beautiful private gardens, the New Town promises the ultimate city lifestyle. While bustling Princes Street and George Street are lined with high-street stores and luxury retailers, the area is also home to a rich array of independent shops and boutiques, exclusive art galleries and designer studios, plus an endless choice of artisan coffee shops, bars, restaurants and eateries. It is also considered the cultural mecca of the capital, with the National Portrait Gallery and Scottish National Galleries, as well as the Edinburgh Playhouse all in the vicinity. At the heart of the city, the New Town nevertheless encompasses some of the capital’s most cherished public parks and green spaces, including the world-renowned Royal Botanic Garden. Locals enjoy fantastic public transport services, including a vast network of buses travelling across the city, the tram stop on Picardy Place, which provides a swift and easy route from Newhaven to Edinburgh International Airport, as well as national rail travel from Waverley station.
