Southside

View on the map

Do you love student neighbourhoods, hip coffee shops and hiking in hidden nature? Then Southside is perfect for you.

This is your district if you are looking for a mix of nature and busy city life. Walk along the canal like the locals or sit in The Meadows with a picnic on a sunny day. Shop at independent boutiques and cozy up at one of the many coffee and lunch spots in the Bruntsfield residential area, which is home to many students and families. The university district has some beautiful buildings but also nice budget restaurants and pubs.
