Overview

Step into the spellbinding streets that inspired the Wizarding World. Follow in J.K. Rowling’s footsteps through Edinburgh’s Old Town, beginning at Greyfriars Kirkyard, where familiar names from Hogwarts rest on centuries-old stones. Continue to the café where Rowling wrote the first chapters of Harry Potter and hear how the city shaped her imagination.

Stroll through hidden closes and the atmospheric lanes that echo the mood of the books, then walk along Victoria Street — the colorful, curving inspiration for Diagon Alley. Visit locations tied to the Department of Magic and uncover stories, secrets, and surprising references that connect Edinburgh to the saga.

The tour culminates at The Balmoral, the iconic hotel where Rowling finished the final book. Perfect for fans, families, and anyone curious about the magic woven into Edinburgh’s history.
