Calton Hill – View Point
Rising dramatically on the eastern edge of the city center is lofty Calton Hill, which boasts some of the best views of Edinburgh. Dotted about its steep slopes are majestic monuments while important buildings, such as the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace, lie near its foot. Protected as a park since 1724, the hilltop has long been one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks and viewpoints. Besides enjoying panoramas of the castle and Arthur’s Seat, as well as Holyrood and New Town too, visitors can explore its paths and green spaces. One of its standout sights is the National Monument which was modeled upon the Parthenon in Athens. Royal Mile – Cobbled Street
One of the most popular places to visit in Edinburgh is the Royal Mile which stretches from Edinburgh Castle to Holyroodhouse Palace. The succession of scenic streets are so nicknamed as they reach almost exactly a mile in length and connect the two royal residences, with the fitting term first having been coined in 1901. Running through the center of the Old Town, the Royal Mile is a delight to amble along with beautiful old buildings, interesting landmarks, and booming businesses all lining the route. While it is quite touristy, the busy thoroughfare is a must-visit for all its enticing attractions, architecture, and lively ambience. Edinburgh Castle
Perched atop a rocky outcrop right in the center of town is the atmospheric Edinburgh Castle; one of the city’s standout symbols and sights. While most of the current castle dates to the eleventh century, archaeologists believe its strategic site has been occupied since at least the second century. As one of the most important strongholds in Scotland, the fortress was involved in countless battles and sieges over the years. Nowadays, however, it is one of Edinburgh’s most popular attractions with millions of tourists visiting each year. Besides exploring its military buildings, Royal Palace and St. Margaret’s Chapel, visitors can venture up onto its battlements and towers and enjoy breathtaking views over the city.
