Edinburgh Old Town Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Edinburgh Old Town refers to the Old Town part of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The city has preserved many buildings from the Middle Ages in Europe and the Scottish Reform Movement, among which the more famous ones include St Giles Cathedral, the Church of Scotland lobby, the Surgery Building, the Royal Scottish Museum, the University of Edinburgh, and the Scottish Parliament Building. Wandering in the streets of the ancient city, exploring the unique characteristic buildings, bars, restaurants and shops on both sides, the wonderful music of Scottish bagpipes can be heard from time to time, which is very leisurely.

Gorgeous city that full with historical architecture, just feel like you’re in Harry Potter’s movie scene!
Beautiful place. The royal Mile is the Main Street prices can be higher on that street. It is too busy during August because of the festival. I would avoid coming that month, you won’t enjoy the experience as much.
In fact, I think this castle is a military defense, the castle color is heavy witness to the history of Scotland! Step up to the highest end to overlook the panoramic view of Edinburgh and feel the beauty of the city. very good!
Super historical city, but unfortunately there are too few sunny days, always cloudy and rainy, lived for nearly half a year, or not used to.
The scenery is pleasant, very good choice, I like this place very much!
Edinburgh's old town was mesmerizing! It's a short walk or bus ride away from the main train station that connects it to London. Highly recommend visiting The Royal Mile and Victoria Street!
