Insider Tips

  • check_circleNo bags on match days: If you happen to be visiting Edinburgh during a Six Nations weekend, the entire stadium operates a strict 'No Bag' policy (nothing larger than A4).
  • check_circleCombine with the Zoo: Murrayfield and Edinburgh Zoo are on the exact same transport corridor. Book a morning stadium tour and take the Lothian 12 or 26 bus straight to the Zoo for the afternoon.
  • check_circleCheck the concert schedule: Murrayfield isn't just for rugby; it hosts massive summer concerts (like Taylor Swift and Oasis). Stadium tours are completely suspended during these build-out weeks.

Edinburgh Zoo

Edinburgh Zoo

Set upon 82 acres of sloping parkland on Corstorphine Hill, Edinburgh Zoo is a world-class conservation park managed by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. It is globally renowned for its pioneering penguin enclosure and is the only zoo in the UK where you can see Queensland Koalas.

Johnnie Walker Princes Street

Johnnie Walker Princes Street

Opened in 2021 inside a massive former department store, Johnnie Walker Princes Street is a staggering, high-budget visitor attraction that redefines the whisky tour. Rather than a dry history lesson, the flagship 'Journey of Flavour' tour is a highly personalized, theatrical experience. Upon arrival, you take a flavor quiz that dictates the customized highball cocktails you are served as actors guide you through incredible, high-tech projection rooms. The building is capped off by the stunning 1820 Rooftop Bar, offering phenomenal views of Edinburgh Castle.

Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle

Perched dramatically on Castle Rock, Edinburgh Castle is the most besieged place in Great Britain and the undisputed crown jewel of the Scottish capital. It has served as a royal residence, a military garrison, and a prison of war. Today, visitors flock here to view the Honours of Scotland (the oldest Crown Jewels in Britain), the legendary Stone of Destiny, the magnificent Great Hall, and St Margaret's Chapel—the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh.
