In my opinion the best pizzas in Edinburgh. About 5 minutes in a taxi from the apartment. Great thin based pizzas as well as a full menu of other delights. Or get a takeaway or they can deliver.

If you want something really special, book Afternoon Tea here. It costs £30 per person which is quite steep but it is delicious and the surroundings are extremely impressive. They also do lunches. The Signet Library is in the heart of Edinburgh, just off the High Street, next to St. Giles Cathedral. About 15 minutes' walk from the apartment.

Views of Edinburgh's castle and the spectacular skyline of Edinburgh's Royal Mile and Old Town feature on the menu of James Thomson's rooftop Tower Restaurant above Edinburgh's National Museum of Scotland. Fresh, locally sourced and impeccably cooked food, from an inventive menu, deft service and inspirational wines in a chic and glamorous rooftop setting are Tower trademarks. This is rooftop dining at its most spectacular - with brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner every day.

Great little market which takes place every Sunday. The emphasis is on freshly cooked food and local produce. Other stalls include handcrafts and jewellery. Well worth a visit.

Entertainment & Activities
A classic, independently run cinema in the Morningside area of Edinburgh. Go out of the apartment turn left along Northumberland Street until you reach Dundas Street and catch a 23 bus to Morningside. Ask the driver where to get off. Or ask me for a lift. You'll love this cinema - small screens but lovely comfy sofas to sit on and in cinema 1, the seats even recline! Worth a visit if you fancy a film.

The Camera Obscura is great fun. You start off with a guided tour using the camera which is lighthearted and suitable for children. Then there are a few different floors with various interactive exhibits - 3D, holograms, mind benders, etc. Well worth a visit. If you googlesearch you can sometimes find discount coupons for this attraction.
