Edinburgh’s biggest and best shopping mall

Word to the wise: If you’re visiting the centre, take an hour out of your day to look around the Royal Britannia - one of Queen Elizabeth II’s private yachts.

As the city’s largest shopping centre, and with a stunning waterfront location, Ocean Terminal is the perfect destination for a little light retail relief. Ocean boasts more than 70 popular retailers, with top fashion outlets such as Burton, FCUK, Fat Face, New Look, Topshop, Superdry, Gap and H&M alongside food stores (M&S, Baxters, Thorntons), hiking shops (Trespass, Mountain Warehouse), entertainment (HMV, Game, Waterstone’s), phones (Orange, O2), accessories (Claire’s, Sunglasses Hut) and more.

You can either park your car at Ocean or get from the centre by bus. Take bus numbers 11, 22, 34, 35 and 36.
