The colorful facades of Victoria Street form another of the most emblematic images of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Go down this picturesque street, stopping at its stores (some of them, with a Harry Potter theme, since they say that J.K. Rowling was inspired by Victoria St to create the Diagon alley) and you will arrive at Grassmarket. In past centuries, this walk was a bustling market of cattle and artisans, and also one of the places where public executions were carried out in Edinburgh. Nowadays, Grassmarket has been stripped of any terrible trace and is full of pubs and restaurants that give it a lively atmosphere. Click the next ARROW to see the next photo!
