Most of my time in the evenings were spent at the grassmarket. We would have a pint (or two~) at Biddy Mulligans and then wait at the "Hanging Point" for a taxi. The night started when we would arrive to Eros for dancing till early morning. I never felt scared of walking in the middle of the night because there were almost as many people out at night as there were during the day.

I enjoyed going with all internationals to "Bannerman's" at Cowgate. I would recommend a cafe called "the forest", nearby Poterrow(UofE). You shouldn't miss a walk to Arthur's Seat and jogging in the Meadows with some friends. It was also enjoyable the view from Carlton Hill and the Castle of Edinburgh from Princess Street. Delightful.

Best about scotland is the blend of nature with the city. Things to do include going up the Crags and Arthur's site. To do - visit the princes street gardens and the Castle! wonderful view from there! Best Cafe - Rigs (great place to hang out with a few friends apart from Friday nights when the music is WAY too loud!)

The Big Cheese at Potterrow is definitely not to be missed. Same with Why Not off of Princes Street. And of course, climbing Arthur's Seat is almost madantory.

The City of Edinburgh is so small that everyone finds his/her favourite place. There is social life for every taste (pubs, clubs, theatre, cinema, events, etc.)

Sandy Bell's pub is awesome; the band Rantum Scantum is fun to watch, they play at pubs around town often; the Beltane festival in April is also great.
