I loved the Edinburgh castle and the city view that you see from top of the castle. It was a nice sunny day and the history has been preserved nicely. Would recommend booking early in the morning to avoid crowded experience as the castle gets busy later in the afternoon. Can be kept as a first spot for the day on your iteanrry as it gives amole amount of time to see the entire place calmly and without any rush.

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

_TI***3h

Located precisely at the end of the Royal Mile the Holyrood Place has beeb a Royal residence since the 16th century, and the original Abbey was founded in 1128 (which is still on site). It is absolutely a must-see during your time in Edinburgh, being a perfect example of a working palace. But do not compare it to the Buckingham Palace in London, since those two are completely different in all aspects but one, which is it being a monarch residence. Some rooms are filled up to the brim with historic events, and are featured in the famous paintings. One of which is the bedchambers of Mary Queen of Scots where her dear friend was killed right in front of her (there is also a spot which is claimed to be bloodstained with his blood where his body was left). Overall immersive experience guaranteed and I highly recommend visiting this palace. Don&#39;t forget to visit the Holyrood Abbey as well, as it is one of the oldest places in all Edinburgh and is very authentic in its ruins.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

D Day for Travel

Very nice experience. You will get a free whisky glass after the wine tasting session. We acquired a lot of whisky knowledge and overall it is very interesting.

Royal Mile

The Royal Mile is not only the geographical skeleton of Edinburgh, but also the epitome of Scottish history and culture. The avenue stands a number of statues of historical giants, including David Hume, a philosopher, economist and historian of the Scottish Enlightenment; 18th century English philosopher, economist and historian Adam Smith.
