Embark on a mystical journey through the cobbled streets of Scotland's capital with the Self-Guided Audio Tour of Harry Potter’s Edinburgh. This audio tour is crafted for the curious souls drawn to the nexus where the real world and the enchanting realm of witchcraft and wizardry converge.
We start at the former Spoon Bistro, the little-known place where the first HP book was written. You will then see the school that is speculated to be an inspiration for Hogwarts itself.
After that, you will be guided through a mysterious Greyfriars Kirkyard to find the tombstone of Tom Riddell. To warm up, the tour will get you to the busy Victoria street with cafes and souvenir shops. This very street recalls the memories of Diagon Alley and preschool shopping.
Through the narrow cobblestone streets, you will see the New College of the University of Edinburgh and gilded handprints of JK in front of the City Chambers. We finish at Balmoral Hotel, the luxurious place where the last HP novel was finished.
Touch the nose of Greyfriars Bobby's loyal statue, feel the presence of wizards among the graves, and soak in the creative essence of Rowling's writing havens, all while wandering in the footsteps of magic that still dances in the air of this historic city.
