I have been fortunate to visit many capital cities throughout the world, and they all tend to have a main shopping street. Princes Street fulfils this role in Edinburgh and, in my view, is rather unique.

It’s the Main Street of Edinburgh, shops bars and hotels. A tram runs down the street ever 15 min,busses and lots of cars and taxis. Crowded when we visited in late Aug, no amount of social distancing, and very few people wearing masks.

We walked up and down this busy street during our time in Edinburgh. It is a busy street with many shops to look in, lots of sides streets cone off of this and you can find some good places to eat and drink. If you like shopping then you will enjoy this street.
