Edinburgh Waterfront is a destination to be appreciated by wandering through the cobbled wynds, absorbing the maritime heritage, and by spending time on the local attractions and amenities. Experience something different such as a chinese health therapy or a new challenge like indoor rock climbing. Often it can be these low-key activities which add a different and memorable dimension to your visit. Check out the options on our interactive map.

But of course, you should not miss world-class attractions such as The Royal Yacht Britannia. The experience starts in the Britannia Visitor Centre, located on the 2nd floor of Ocean Terminal. Step aboard and follow in the footsteps of Kings and Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers.

The main tourist attractions of Edinburgh City Centre are also just a short distance away. But it is worth taking in some of the other attractions such as the Royal Botanic Gardens at Inverleith or historic South Queensferry where you can visit Dalmeny House, see the spectacular Forth Bridges or take a cruise to Inchcolm Island where you'll see seals, possibly dolphins and porpoise, as well as an interesting variety of seabirds

Even take a bracing walk along the beach at Portobello.
