Location in Edinburgh

Situated in the Old Town across the street from Edinburgh Dungeons and Waverly Bridge, mere minutes walk from Edinburgh Castle, this is where you’ll find St. Christopher’s Edinburgh hostel and the wild Belushi’s Bar. This is the ultimate base for your tour of the Scottish capital and beyond. Staffed by friendly, knowledgeable backpackers, St. Christopher’s youth hostels know exactly how to give you what you want: an unforgettably fun adventure where you’re making friends from every corner of the globe. Make your trip the best ever, start it off right with St. Christopher’s backpackers hostels.

Crossing the Waverly Bridge will traverse you across the divide between Old Town and New Town and land you in the centre of Princes’ Street, Edinburgh’s main drag. Built in the latter half of the 18th century, New Town is more recognizably the shoppers delight in the city; however, it is not without its fair share of culture. In true Georgian style, dominating the big name shops and independent boutiques, is all 200 feet of the Sir Walter Scott Monument, circa 1846. Visitors looking for a tremendous view of the Edinburgh skyline are invited to tackle the 287 steps for the pleasure.
