Things To Do For Couples Edinburgh
Edinburgh has lots to do for both visitors and local residents, listed below are some suggestions for things to do with your other half in the city.
These are a combination of some landmarks, tourist destinations, bars and restaurants ideally suited for couples looking things to do in Edinburgh, as well as booking a relaxing massage together.
1. Hike up Arthur's Seat
Climbing Arthur’s Seat is one of Edinburgh’s most rewarding outdoor activities, offering panoramic views of the city, the Firth of Forth, and even as far as the Highlands on a clear day. This extinct volcano, standing about 251 meters (823 feet) high, is located in Holyrood Park, just a short walk from the Royal Mile, making it an unusually accessible hill walk right in the heart of a capital city.
There are several routes to the summit, ranging from short, steep scrambles to more gradual paths. The quickest (but steepest) is from Dunsapie Loch, which can take up to 30 minutes, while the longer, gentler route from Holyrood Palace or Queen’s Drive can take 45 to 60 minutes. The terrain can be uneven and windy, so good footwear is recommended.
Arthur’s Seat has layers of history, it’s part of a 350 million year old volcanic formation, has archaeological remains from ancient hill forts, and is tied to local legends (including a possible link to King Arthur). At the top, you’ll find a trig point marking the summit, along with some of the best urban views in the UK. Sunrise and sunset climbs are especially popular for photographers.
2. Visit Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) is one of Scotland’s most beautiful and scientifically significant attractions, spanning 70 acres of lush landscapes, themed gardens, and glasshouses just one mile from the city centre. Founded in 1670 as a medicinal garden, it has evolved into a world leading centre for plant research, conservation, and education, housing over 13,000 plant species from around the globe.
Visitors can explore highlights like the Rock Garden, Chinese Hillside, Alpine Houses, and the Victorian Palm Houses, which shelter exotic species from tropical rainforests and arid deserts. In spring and summer, the grounds burst into colour with rhododendrons, magnolias, and wildflower meadows, while autumn brings spectacular foliage displays.
The RBGE also hosts seasonal events, art exhibitions, guided tours, and educational workshops. Admission to the outdoor gardens is free (with a fee for the glasshouses), making it a must visit for locals and tourists alike. Beyond its beauty, the garden plays a vital role in tackling global biodiversity challenges, collaborating with scientists worldwide to protect endangered plant species.
3. Visit Portobello Beachfront
Portobello Beachfront is one of Edinburgh’s favourite seaside escapes, located just three miles from the city centre and easily reachable by bus, bike, or even a long walk. This wide, sandy beach stretches for about two miles along the Firth of Forth, making it perfect for walking, jogging, sunbathing, or enjoying classic seaside activities. On warm days, you’ll find locals swimming, paddleboarding, and sailing, while the promenade is always buzzing with cyclists, dog walkers, and families.
The beachfront is lined with cafes, ice cream parlours, and pubs, giving it a charming, old fashioned seaside atmosphere. Popular spots include artisan coffee shops and traditional fish and chip takeaways, perfect for grabbing a snack to enjoy by the shore. Throughout the year, Portobello hosts community events such as sandcastle competitions, outdoor fitness classes, and markets.
Even in winter, it’s a great place for a bracing walk with stunning views across the water, sometimes you can even spot seals offshore. The sunsets here can be spectacular, with the low sun reflecting across the waves and casting a golden glow over the promenade.
