Edinburgh is often described as a romantic city. From historic buildings and cobblestone streets to high end shopping and fantastic restaurants, all types of romance are catered to in our beautiful city. Before you plan your romantic Valentines in Edinburgh, book the perfect accommodation in PREMIER SUITES Serviced Apartments centrally located on Fountain Court. We welcome all types of visitors with plenty of space in our apartments in Edinburgh for two to make themselves at home. Here are some of the most exciting and romantic things to do in Edinburgh this Valentine’s Day.
Walk hand in hand through one of the most romantic spots in all of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle. The Castle looks over the city from its strategic location on top of Castle Rock and gives you the most beautiful views. Inside, you can learn more about battles, sieges and ceremonies and see how the other half lived back in the day. Grab a hot chocolate or an ice cream from nearby Marys Milk Bar and walk hand in hand along the Royal Mile.
Themed cocktail bars are a popular and novel way to spend a Valentine’s evening that you won’t forget. The Cocktail Geeks is a small but stylish space that is redecorated every month with a different theme. For February 2024, it’s Super Mario themed but we’ve seen past iterations of Stranger Things, superheroes, horror movies and more. The drinks menu changes with the décor and the quality of the ingredients used is second to none.
Looking for an unforgettable day out for two? Discover Edinburgh Zoo and enjoy a great day out with your other half and an alternative date that will make this Valentine’s stand out. Admire the animals in the zoo with everything from scales to feathers and get to know each other a little better. Time your visit well and you might get to see your favourite animals at feeding time.
Edinburgh is picturesque and beautiful, but it has a dark and scary past that lovers of ghouls and gore will want to explore together. There are a dozen spooky ghost walks around Edinburgh giving you a better understanding of the lesser-known side of the city. You’ll learn more about witches, grave robbers, ghosts, murderers and more. It’s the perfect excuse to cuddle up close in case one of you gets scared!
Edinburgh’s dining scene is brilliant. From deep-fried mars bars to fine dining and Michelin-starred food recommendations, there truly is something for everyone here. Try some traditional fare like haggis or Cock a Leekie Soup or something from further afield like an Indian or Thai dish in some of the dozens of restaurants on our doorstep. Our team will be happy to recommend somewhere excellent for a meal that suits your tastes and budget.
Romance looks different to every couple. While some prefer expensive gifts and nights out, others are more content with a night at home with some great TV. If you want a night-in in Edinburgh, make sure your accommodation is suitable. PREMIER SUITES has comfortable spacious suites, ideal for a romantic night in with a takeaway and a great movie.
For an alternative date idea, book a session at Boom Battle Bar Edinburgh, the ultimate party playground. They have a range of fun games, from axe-throwing to shuffleboard, brilliant DJ sets, and great street food alongside tip-top cocktails. You’re sure to find more fun-loving people to spend the night with or have great fun as a duo.
Treat your other half to afternoon tea in The Palace of Holyroodhouse, Scotland’s primary royal residence since the 16th Century. The perfectly manicured gardens make a great place for a romantic stroll, and you can learn more about former monarchs in the galleries, staterooms and throne room. Their restaurant has the most amazing views of Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano and one of the greatest hikes in Edinburgh.
