Edinburgh's Grassmarket Tourist Attractions & Activities

Edinburgh’s Grassmarket is home to some of the most exciting tourist attractions in Edinburgh. The area weaves the most historically significant Edinburgh tourist attractions with some of the best shopping, eating, drinking and sightseeing in Edinburgh. And with a great range of friendly pubs and cafes, you’ll get some of the most individual and unique tourist information you’re ever likely to get – straight from the locals themselves!
 
At night, sightseeing goes underground into Edinburgh’s ghostly underworld! Famous throughout the world for its haunted vaults - built over after the plague wiped out most of Edinburgh in the mid 1600s – Edinburgh’s Grassmarket is in the heart of some of the spookiest, eeriest areas of Edinburgh’s Old Town. A trip to the area wouldn’t be complete without a ghost tour.
