VALENTINE’S DAY IN EDINBURGH
Are you ready? Valentine’s Day is finally arriving!
If you are planning to surprise your spouse with a romantic trip to Edinburgh, it is difficult, to say the least, to prioritise from the pool of memorable activities to do and places to visit.
Don’t worry though, at The Bruntsfield, we not only await you with beautiful and comfortable rooms, but we prepared you a list of ideas that will win you the best partner title.
SOME DELICIOUS ROMANCE FOR THE MORNING?
You’re finally in Edinburgh but you struggle to plan what to do with the little time you have? How about a romantic brunch to kick the day off and save up some energy for the day ahead?
Edinburgh is rich in brunch places, which of several can be found in the city centre, or, at The Bruntsfield, if you don’t fancy much movement before breakfast.
For instance, Côte, Urban Angel, and Honeycomb& Co, awaits you with a wide selection of pastries, French toasts, egg dishes, and, of course, the non-negligible brunch component: mimosa.
DATE DURING THE DAY
What can you do after your deliciously romantic brunch morning? Depending on weather, there are several activities you can do that will base the romantic mood for the day.
If the weather allows, Portobello beach is only a short bus journey away and it is the perfect place for a romantic walk, surrounded by the waves and stunning sky. Of course, when you need a pick-me-up, or you simply can’t handle theFebruary temperature anymore, there are several cafes in Portobello that will provide you with caffeine fuel and maybe even a sweet treat.
However, if you don’t fancy a bus ride, only a short distance away from The Bruntsfield, you can find the hidden village in the city. The magical village, AKA Dean Village, is the perfect place for a quiet walk in the nature, even in the cold, where you get to spend quality time near a beautiful, clear river.
But what do you do if Valentine’s Day is attacked by the typical Scottish weather?Don’t worry, there are plenty of activities you can do indoors in Edinburgh.For instance, you may enjoy Camera Obscura and its interactive visual illusions.Or, if you and your spouse are connected via a love for sweets, the Chocolatarium will be a winner, by allowing you to make quality chocolate. But don’t be shy with the tasting either!
THE EVENING – THE MAIN EVENT
The evening finally arrived, when you can really show off the romantic in you. Edinburgh has plenty of elegant restaurants, where you can enjoy a candle-lit dinner, accompanied by mouthwatering dishes and fine wines.
But that’s not all Edinburgh has to offer! After a meal, you might enjoy a cocktail-making class at The Alchemist, indoor roller skating at BoardwalkLeith, or, some nostalgic play and drinks at Ballie Ballerson. The opportunities are limitless!
