12:00 Princes Street shopping

Stroll along Princes Street and witness a unique main street with its shops lining only one side of the street, leaving the opposite side a lush and green garden space that offers shoppers breathtaking views of the Old Town cityscape. 

Notice that some of the shops will close sooner than you expect. The opening hours abroad sometimes vary greatly from our mediterranean standards. Culture clash.
