★★★★★2 weeks agoI absolutely loved Cambridge Market in Edinburgh! The aesthetic vibe of the shop is beautiful, and everything is displayed so nicely. The products are unique, high quality, and incredibly cute—I wanted to buy so many things! The staff were also friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for lovely gifts, home décor, or something special for yourself. I can’t wait to come back! 💕

★★★★★2 months agoSuch a wonderful selection of artists, farmers and food vendors. Because of limited space, it does get crowded, but worth it. If you're a tourist on a Saturday that this market is happening, you've got to check it out.
