Leith & Portobello — Sea Air and Seafood

Leith has transformed into a dining hotspot. If the HoHo offers a Leith/Portobello extension, it's worth the time.

Portobello

Sandy beach promenade — great in summer for families.
Fish-and-chip shops and nearby cafes.

Tip: Combine the Britannia visit with a waterfront lunch for a relaxed afternoon.
