St Giles' Cathedral: Head inside this stunning, 12th-century masterpiece of Gothic architecture, famous for its intricate stained-glass windows and crown spire.
The Real Mary King's Close (Exterior): While the full tour is too long for a two-hour visit, you can see the entrance to this famous subterranean close near the City Chambers. The attraction is built over a labyrinth of well-preserved 17th-century streets and houses.
Pubs and Shops: The middle section of the Mile is filled with pubs and shops. It is a good time to grab a quick drink at a historic pub like the World's End or browse a few of the independent shops before your guide picks you back up.
