Generally I would avoid. Very busy (it was Christmas!!) and shops average. I would suggest access to Jenners/ and S etc from Rose street

5/5 - Excellent

The bars/pubs along Princes' Street were fantastic and a very easy walk from the apartment

Standard city-centre High Street shopping.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Princes Street is always busy so aim for first thing or last thing if you want to avoid the crowds. Or go straight for George Street where the shops are much nicer!

5/5 - Excellent
