Edinburgh Castle Photos: Trip Moments
"The castle keeps secrets for love" Edinburgh CastleOne of the filming locations of Jay Chou's "Ming Ming Jiu" MV🏴 Almost missed Edinburgh Castle when I came to Edinburgh🏰 Because the castle is very popular, tickets must be booked in advance‼️ I didn't book in advance, and found out that the tickets were sold out when I walked in on the day Fortunately, the kind staff at the door told me that I could ask at the tourist info With a try-it-out attitude, I bought the original price ticket for the day at the city sightseeing bus stop in front of the church⛪️! You can go straight in at the time without queuing~ If you forget to make an appointment in advance like me, you can try this method💕 🏰Edinburgh Castle Edinburgh Castle 🎫18.5💷/person 🚗If you drive by yourself, you can only park at the foot of the mountain, because there is no parking lot🅿️ near the castle, we parked at the nearest NCP Edinburgh Castle Terrace, the parking fee is a bit expensive, walk up the steps for 15 minutes and you will arrive at the main entrance of the castle~ 📷Photo location ▪️Jay Chou's same location, keep going inside after entering the door, don't go uphill, there will be a downhill place, next to it is the museum, and the viewing platform is at the end where you can see the distant church ▪️Another location is near the small church after going uphill, the roof is very obvious~ ▪️Ross Fountain Ross Fountain, outside the castle, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the castle, it is also a very good angle for taking pictures~🆓The Culinary Cruise18

Edinburgh Christmas Season｜Waiting for a century sunset on Calton HillEdinburgh is a city full of magic, it's the kind of romantic that no matter how many times you come, you still want more. This is my third time in Edinburgh, and Calton Hill gave me the most explosive sunset of 2023!! · I happened to catch the Christmas market in Edinburgh, the streets are full of Christmas atmosphere, the whole city looks more vibrant. Edinburgh city is not big, basically you can have a lot of fun just by walking, take this 2-day citywalk route, while exploring the city don't forget to go to the Christmas market to experience the local lifestyle! · Day1️⃣ Edinburgh Castle (How can you not see the light of Scotland, you can overlook the whole Edinburgh from the castle. The castle is very big, if you visit carefully, you can stay for half a day)➡️Rose Street Butter Beer (Potions Cauldron on Rose Street is a very famous butter beer store, Harry Potter fans must not miss it)➡️George Street Christmas Market (In addition to Prince's Park, there is also a Christmas market on George Street in Edinburgh city, with fewer people, this year's carousel is on George Street)➡️Calton Hill (A must-go in Edinburgh! The sunset never disappoints) · Day2️⃣ Dean Village (A small village on the edge of Edinburgh city, with a very British retro taste, about 20 minutes walk from the train station)➡️Victoria Street (The colorful facades are very recognizable, the shop fronts are various styles, full of Christmas atmosphere)➡️W.Armstong & Son Vintage Shop (One of the most famous vintage shops in Edinburgh, I always find something every time I come, this time I got a saddle bag)➡️Prince Street Garden Christmas Market (You can see the skyline of Edinburgh from Prince's Park, with a magical attribute, with the addition of the Christmas market, it's even more fairy tale, dinner was solved at the Christmas market, I love hot dogs + hot red wine, it's the taste of Christmas)➡️Waverley Station (Waverley Station is really full of industrial flavor, Christmas lighting is also very ceremonial) · The winter days in Edinburgh are short, which is very suitable for citywalk, not tired and you won't feel too cold if you move around. If you have time, I highly recommend you to squat a sunrise at Arthur's Seat. · The best way to go to Edinburgh is of course by train. It only takes over 4 hours to take the LNER train from London to Edinburgh, it's very convenient to buy tickets from the self-service machine at King's Cross Station. I stayed in York for an extra 2 days, it only takes over an hour from York to Waverley Station in Edinburgh, scanning the QR code to enter the station saves a lot of time. First class seats come with catering service, LNER has launched a special Christmas catering, the taste is not bad (also got a lot of chocolates and candies)~ I didn't expect there to be charging devices on the LNER train, no more anxiety about phone battery · PS: It's recommended to stay near Waverley Station in Edinburgh, it's convenient to go anywhere, you can have a lot of fun just by walking, if you haven't decided where to go for Christmas, why not come to Edinburgh for a romantic sunset~~~ Edinburgh·UKWandererInTransit10

The Majestic Edinburgh Castle🏰#timetotravel 🏴 🏰Edinburgh Castle is a fascinating testament to Scotland’s rich and complex history. Majestically perched atop a volcanic promontory, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city of Edinburgh. This historic fortress, with its imposing walls and captivating towers, draws visitors from around the world eager to immerse themselves in the history of a place that has withstood the test of time. The atmosphere within its walls is steeped in mystery and grandeur, with restored chambers that tell the tales of monarchs who resided here, battles fought, and eras navigated. In the heart of Edinburgh stands a symbol of power, resilience, and tumultuous history: Edinburgh Castle. Its origins trace back to Roman times, when the volcanic hill on which it stands provided an impregnable strategic position. Over the centuries, the castle bore witness to conflicts, battles, and rulers that shaped Scotland’s destiny. It hosted kings and queens, endured sieges, and channeled the fervor of rebels. One of its darkest moments was the “Massacre of Glencoe” in 1692, when the castle became a stage for betrayal and violence. Nevertheless, it’s also a beacon of hope and resilience, a monument that witnessed the birth of a nation. Today, its towers bear witness to a country’s struggle for identity and freedom, continuing to inspire those who walk amongst its ancient stones. Getting There:🏰 Edinburgh Castle is situated in the heart of the city, within short walking distance from many points of interest. It’s easily accessible by public transport, taxi, or on foot for those staying nearby. Simply follow the signs leading to the castle, as it’s a well-marked destination for visitors. Entrance Fee:🫰 The cost of admission varies depending on age and the type of ticket chosen. It’s advisable to check the updated prices on the official Edinburgh Castle website before your visit. Where to Eat:🍽️ Inside the castle, you’ll find various options for dining and refreshments, including cafes and restaurants. Be sure to also sample local culinary specialties in the vicinity of the castle to experience traditional Scottish cuisine. #TravelInspiration #edinburgh #castleJourneyPulse10

Edinburgh Castle! The Home of Kings and Queens!What an iconic castle. They always say "You've never been to Scotland unless you have visited the Edinburgh Castle" It is like 'You've never been to Beijing/China unless you have visited the Great Wall" Anyway, Edinburgh Castle is a must see as it holds spectacular views of Edinburgh from the Castle. Once you are inside you will be introduced to so many artifacts with historical significance. The Scottish War Museum is a must visit inside, I think we took the most time there. You can easily roam around the castle for about 2-4 hours but you could spend all day there if you really want to thoroughly view everything. The entrance ticket is about 20 pounds. Book it online because they sell out their tickets everyday quite quickly so make sure to book your tickets in advance. There are cafes inside too , incase you get peckish then it just there.. A little pricier though but it is an option for you if you have not eatrn before coming to Edinburg Castle. Enjoy your trip! #valentinescape #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwishFilipinaTraveler122

Roam around EdinburghOne of the best cities i’ve felt in love with. Though train from London is possible, we chose to take a ride on a plane to save more time . Tourist spots were just nearby so walking is highly recommended. We had an ice cream at the princess gardens and took a quick walk to the Calton Hill. The next day, we climbed Arthur’s seat, took a tour to the different museums which are all free. #england #valentinescape #edinburghyhAnventures22

Edinburgh Castle stands proudly atop Castle Rock, dominating the skyline of Scotland's capital city and serving as a symbol of its rich history and heritage. My recent visit to this iconic landmark left me in awe of its grandeur and significance.Stepping through the gates of Edinburgh Castle is like stepping back in time, as centuries of history unfold before your eyes.
a great bit of history, picturesque views .Tips: drink whisky not ideal for elderly with the hills .the castle is alive at new year, with crowds really big yins too.all looking for haggis neaps and tatties.
This is must -go place in Edinburgh. the castle is just at the top of royal mile. very historical and beautiful place. The castle definitely a lot to see. especially the Crown Jewels, military museum etc.
Edinburgh Castle isn't just a castle, it's a crown jewel of Scotland perched proudly on Castle Rock. The panoramic views from its battlements are unbeatable, stretching across the city and beyond. Be prepared to be awestruck by its history, architecture, and iconic presence.A Walk Through Time ️The castle boasts a rich tapestry of history, with sections dating back as far as the 12th century. Explore St Margaret's Chapel, one of the oldest surviving religious buildings in Edinburgh. Marvel at the grandeur of the Great Hall, where lavish feasts were once held. Don't miss Mons Meg, a colossal 15th-century cannon, and the One o' Clock Gun, a daily tradition that still booms across the city.**Treasures and Tales **History buffs will love the crown jewels, known as the Honours of Scotland. Immerse yourself in the fascinating stories of sieges and battles that shaped Scotland's past at the National War Museum. Take a guided tour led by a kilted steward, or explore at your own pace with the informative audio guide.**Tips for Your Visit **Tickets are essential, and booking online in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak season. Wear comfortable shoes, as there's a good bit of walking uphill to reach the castle. The climb is worth it for the breathtaking views, but if you have mobility concerns, a courtesy vehicle can take you to the top.**Make it a Full Day! **After exploring the castle, delve deeper into Edinburgh's Old Town. The charming cobbled streets and historic buildings are a delight to wander through. Grab a bite to eat at a cosy pub and enjoy some traditional Scottish fare.#EdinburghCastle #Scotland #HistoryBuff #TravelGram #EpicViews #MustSee
