Royal Mile

One of the best places to visit in Edinburgh is the Royal Mile. It is one of the better shopping districts in the city, with tons of historic churches, wonderful restaurants, and one of a kind shopping. When night falls, there are also ghost walks and lively bars to provide lots of entertainment.

Monastiraki Flea Market

posted by triplecrown on 14 May 2009 at 17:56

On Sunday mornings you will find a Flea Market that is huge and diverse. Avoid the tourist trap shops that are the same everywhere, but then you get to the really interesting finds - everything from antiques on down the line. This "market" goes on indefinitely it seems. It is a look into the greek culture and you will probably see some gypsies and other interesting people. It's a lively atmosphere. Prepare to spend the day & wear comfortable shoes!

The Yumbo Centre is a large shopping mall on Gran Canaria, but so much more. It is full of shops, but also some great restaurants and bars. You can find something at the Yumbo Centre every night you are on vacation and never do the same thing twice. Lots of gay friendly places, with review shows that will have you rolling on the floor.
