Theres nothing quite like the Royal Mile.\nIt is, in a word, unique. And because of that, everybody want to see it. The Royal Mile is always full of tourtists, but more importantly, I (having lived here for many years) still get a cheap thrill about walking down the Royal Mile.\n\nIm not sure what it is - the history, the buzzing atmospher, the many restaurants/shops/bars/tourist things - who knows, the Royal Mile has something.\n\nDuring the festival, it becomes the epicentre of the street performance explosion throughout the city centre, and If you have read my fringe Festival you will know that I genuinly believe that whole days can be spent watching street performers and slowly (very slowly) making your way down the royal mile absorbing the atmosphere and the sights and generally the excellence.\n\nTruely a great place to be, and really desreves its reputation as one of the best places in the city to visit.
