Edinburgh is the city of romance throughout the year. So where should you take your loved one on your romantic break to Edinburgh?
Bring your loved one to Edinburgh for fun, excitement, and laughter.
Ask any local, and they'll tell you that Edinburgh is a captivating city.
This is in part due to the stunning parts of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh, that gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1995.
Edinburgh charms its visitors with its long history of intrigue and mystery, in juxtaposition with modern, light architecture providing the perfect city for a romantic break.
No matter where you turn, you'll find romance.
In the heart of the old town, as the sun shines down, nip down the hidden pathways that criss-cross The Royal Mile, with their hidden bars and restaurants, perfect for couples.
Climb the city's ancient volcano, Arthurs Seat, for a breath-taking view of the city skyline. Take a picnic for a little al fresco dining!
If you enjoy skylines, you'll also like to walk up Calton Hill, for another spectacular panoramic view from this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
However, you don't have to be up a hill to enjoy a little romance with a historic view.
Edinburgh is blessed with skybars across the city, for cocktails and views across the city, and close-up views of the dramatic castle.
Being a couple isn't just about the romance.
It's about making memories and having fun.
So close your eyes and imagine your partner.
What appeals to you?
If laughing with your partner appeals, then take a walk to the comedy venues that are dotted around the capital.
If you're visiting during the festival season, then there will be comedy shows every day in the most memorable of settings.
Perhaps you enjoy the rhythm and beats of soul, dance and jive.
Live music venues scatter the city, so matter whether you plan to party with your partner, salsa with your soulmate, or simply listen with your loved one, Edinburgh has it all.
Does your idea of romance include gazing across a candle-lit table at your partner in a secluded restaurant?
Edinburgh has you covered.
From discrete restaurants with private rooms, to world-class Michelin star restaurants, to petit bakeries for the freshest of croissants and the full sensory experiences of roasted coffees.
For pre-dinner and after-dinner drinks, discover the world of Edinburgh's secret bars.
Hidden behind facades and secret basement doorways, you'll add a little mystery to your trip with cocktails, nibbles and a lesser known side of Scotland's capital.
Bring your loved one to Edinburgh for fun, excitement, and laughter.
Just outside of Edinburgh lies three magnificent bridges, crossing from South Queensferry into North Queensferry in Fife.
You don't need to be a connoisseur of feats of engineering to savour the beauty of this architecture.
If you enjoy a stroll, you can walk across the old Forth Road Bridge, into Fife.
If you'd like to simply admire their beauty and feel grounded, step onto one of the many beaches along South Queensferry coastline.
If you're feeling peckish, or want to enjoy the view from indoors, take time to enjoy the romantic restaurants with panoramic views over the coast.
