Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Night view

Anonymous user

Many said it&#39;s overrated, but I think it&#39;s one of the iconic place to visit, especially if you visit at the right time (when it&#39;s not as busy). Fantastic view from different spots of the castle and learn about some history. Indeed it&#39;s military heavy and some controversial military &quot;honours&quot; to those invasion wars. Don&#39;t expect a huge space to visit though.

Edinburgh Old Town

苏河家园

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Very interesting place to visit to learn about the history of the royal family and see some great docorations. Self_guided audio tour was nicely put together and free with the entrance. I love the backdrop of Arthur&#39;s seat and the ruin of the chapel.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Immediate access

Sip Mun Yee

Informative tour to learn about Scottish Whisky, plus the tasting after that, highly recommended.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
