PLAN AHEAD: Head to The Hub cafe (call 011-44-131- 473-2000), where you’ll wait in line for the info desk and ticket center. For sold-out shows, head to the venue itself, where unused press seats get released at curtain time.
WANDER: Stroll the Royal Mile, a stretch of fine Scottish architecture from the baroque Palace of the Holyroodhouse up to Edinburgh Castle.
DINE: For traditional Scottish fare with a modern twist, choose Stac Polly’s haggis, baked inside phyllo-pastry parcels (011-44-131-229-5405). And top it off with a whisky, neat. Try a Macallan Highland 10-year-old at the World’s
End pub. Score last-minute reservations at 5pm.co.uk.
EXPLORE: Tour the Museum of Scotland, then head to the roof terrace for panoramic views.
