Activity itinerary

Edinburgh City Chambers

  • 15m
Touch the stone plaques where Rowling’s handprints rest. Hear the bustle of the Royal Mile as history frames the magic.

Victoria Street

  • 25m
Stroll beneath a curve of rainbow façades. The slope of cobbles and quirky shops bring Diagon Alley alive.

The Elephant House

  • 20m
Stand at the café known as the birthplace of Harry Potter. Imagine the scratch of a pen against paper while the city hums outside.

Greyfriars Kirkyard

  • 20m
Step into quiet paths where shadows stretch across carved stones. Listen to the tales of names that became part of Rowling’s world.

George Heriot's School

  • 20m
Admire Scots Renaissance towers that echo Hogwarts. The school is not open to visitors, so you enjoy its grandeur from outside.

The Balmoral, a Rocco Forte hotel

  • 15m
Gaze up at the grand clock tower. Rowling finished her final book here, yet the suite is private and only the exterior is included.
