Old TOwn
ASTAY in the capital isn’t complete without a wander through the Old Town – and you’ll want to come back for more.
Yes, it can be horribly busy at times – if you get a seat in a pub during the Festival, you’ll feel like you’ve won the Lotto.
But it’s just so pretty, packed with things to do and buzzing.
There’s a Saturday market – great for all sorts of goodies and picking up unusual gifts – and so many places to eat and drink you’ll be spoiled for choice. Don’t forget the hog roast rolls from Oink – so good it would be a crime to miss them. There are loads of independent boutiques and shops. Somehow, the quirkier the better thrives here – there’s a fossil shop, a sword seller and even a cat cafe. Yes, really – we haven’t had one too many in one of the local pubs.
OK, so you might not find yourself rushing to buy a fossil, but for having fun and peoplewatching, Old Town is essential.
