Victoria Street Viewing Point

Victoria Street Viewing Point is a unique vantage point on one of Edinburgh's most scenic streets.

From here you can admire the distinctive arched street with colorful buildings, which according to legend was the inspiration for the famous Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter series.

It's a paradise for photographers and architecture lovers - early morning or late afternoon offers the best light for photos. It's worth climbing the narrow staircase to Victoria Terrace to get an even better perspective on this iconic part of the UNESCO-listed old city.
