New Town (Edinburgh)
Location verified location
This part of the city, below the "Old Town", dates from the 18th century. The streets are wider, well-planned, and were originally built for the wealthiest residents. Less touristy than the Old Town, the area remains lively and pleasant, with plenty of green spaces, shops, pubs, and restaurants.
