Very tall. Very nice. Very amazing. The view from the top is incredible. We went at the back end of summer so it was busy but was definitely not crowded at the top. There was loads of room to walk freely round. 10/10

There were many photos I'd never seen before and items actually used by the band members, making it a truly impressive exhibition. You can really get a feel for what it was like back then. It was filled with respect not only for John, Paul, George, and Ringo, but also for former members Stuart and Pete, and for other people from Liverpool who have achieved success in various fields. I hope the museum's exhibits will be preserved for a long time to come and be seen by many people.

Edinburgh Castle is an absolutely breathtaking historical landmark! ❤️ Perched high on Castle Rock, it offers spectacular views of Edinburgh and the surrounding city. The impressive stone walls, ancient architecture, and rich Scottish history make this place truly special. Walking through the castle feels like stepping back in time, with fascinating stories of kings, queens, battles, and royal traditions waiting to be discovered. I especially love the dramatic setting and the way the castle stands proudly above the city. It’s a perfect destination for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys exploring beautiful historical places. 😊 Definitely a must-visit attraction in Scotland!

Ohh I love the SEALIFE 😍. it was my first time going to the aquarium and I wanted to experience it as a birthday present. it was beautiful, saw some seahorses, jellyfish, different species of fish. I even touched a starfish 😄. Best experience ever to be honest. Not to forget, there were some turtles and sharks too. Tickets were also affordable, about £20 I think.
