Nice coloured marble steps from Market Street up to North Bridge. This can be a bit hit or miss on the cleanliness though due to it being accessed all 24 hours. Sometimes it's super clean and other times it can be a public toilet. Would love to see a council cleaner team go through every morning. Surprisingly, even though you are under cover while using the steps, it's not waterproof so steps can still be wet. Good views as you go up and from the top.
Lovely set of stairs, each made of a different material, but all evenly spaced for easy climbing.
Nice steps to get from the station level up to the bridge.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Both a wonderful set of stairs and also an incredibly efficient way of getting out of Edinburgh Waverley and onto the bridge. There are 104 steps I forgot to count them and spend ages after looking them up to find out and they are made of marble imported from different parts of the world when they were refurbished in 2011. Originally build in 1899. A lot of comments talk about them smelling of urine but I did not have this problem at all and having discovered them will always walk up them and down when in Edinburgh. They shut at night - I think 11pm to 7am but am not 100% sure
Fantastic public toilet, would highly recommend. Each urinal is made of a different type of marble and the odour of urine just adds to the atmosphere. 5 stars.
A hidden jewel of Edinburgh! A staircase made of 104 steps, each one of them made of a different sort of marble from around the world except for one platform made from limestone containing interesting fossils of cephalopods. A must see both for architecture and geology enthusiasts! It is only a pity that the staircase is quite dirty and as far as I know you can find homeless people sleeping there.
Really pretty stairs with each step made of a different type of Marble. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this but it's nice all the same, used as a shortcut to get from North Bridge to Waverley Station.
For those of a physical fitness type of persuasion, who tend to be up for the odd cardio-vascular challenge or two, then try a brisk wheech, from bottom to top, of this grand old winding covered staircase; inhale the heady aroma of stale wee, of caked-in vom, and of stray dogs departing messages, left strategically where the unwary foot may fall
Could be nice if it wasn't so filthy and smelled like a public urinal.
Very handy but usually smells with urine and can feel dodgy.. But really handy link to Waverley
