    Nice colourful houses in the wide curve of the street. A couple of the shops are also worth a closer view.

    Victoria Street in the old town has to be one of the most photographed spots in the city. Its gentle curve and colorful shop fronts make it a popular spot for tourist photos, postcards and TV commercials

    One of the most picturesque streets in Edinburgh's Old Town is Victoria Street. This street begins at the eastern end of the Grassmarket as West Bow, which was the original name for this historic thoroughfare. This route was originally the main route into Edinburgh for tourists arriving from the north, west or south-west of the city. The zigzagging of the hill made the route more accessible to horse-drawn vehicles that would not have been able to navigate the much narrower lanes or the Royal Mile.
