You Can Ride on the Hogwarts Express in Scotland

"A tea-and-coffeehouse in Edinburgh where J.K. Rowling wrote much of the early Harry Potter books and which offers views toward the castle that many fans find evocative. The cafe is currently closed following a recent building fire, so visitors should check its website for reopening updates." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.
