Real Traveler reviews for Princes Street Gardens

More information on Princes Street Gardens

Princes Street has its fair share of quality shops, from the elegance of Jenners, the most traditional of department stores (which has big designer names, good quality restaurants and a fantastic food hall) - to the ubiquitous high street names of Boots, Gap, Debenhams and the House of Fraser. Just south of Princes Street are the Princes Street Gardens with Calton Hill to the east and The National Gallery of Scotland and The Royal Scottish Academy to the west. The famed Hogmanay celebrations are centered in Princes Street Gardens and Princes Street itself. Truly a center for shopping and culture, Princes Street is must see.
