I went recently,during the fringe and tattoo season,so there was plenty to do and see.However, The real Mary Kings close is quite interesting

Mary King's close is pretty cool.

Loads of great restaurants on bars.

Bannerman's in Cowgate used to do a killer Sunday breakfast - I am sure they still do!

Go for a walk alongside the river in Dean Village - very pretty.

Obviously the Castle.

Plenty of shopping - Princes Street is the main stuff, George St a little more upmarket and St James Shopping Centre of John Lewis and a sprawl of uber-upmarket stuff outside between St James and St Andrews Sq.

Also plenty of theatre, club and music options all over the city centre.

Yes - the castle.
And go for the firing of the gun.
