Afterward, you can walk down the Royal Mile, which is an equally historically rich walk down the streets of Edinburgh that culminates at one of the royal residences, Holyrood Palace.
Arthur’s Seat
Arthur’s Seat is an ancient volcano that is only a short walk from the center of Edinburgh. It climbs 823 feet (251 meters) and offers amazing views of the city. It has also featured in many films, including Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting.
Edinburgh Zoo
Edinburgh Zoo is open all year round and is one of the UK’s best-loved zoos. It has been the only place to see Giant Pandas in the UK for the past twelve years, and although they are returning to China at the end of 2023, the zoo has hundreds of other animals to see including lions, bears, and even a Scottish Wildcat.

]]>Edinburgh, which is the Scottish capital, is a medium-sized city of just under 500,000 located on the coast of the North Sea. The city is divided into two main sections, the Old Town and the New Town, which are recognized together as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its history and architectural beauty.
In the Old Town, you can find the picturesque and haunting Edinburgh Castle. This former royal residence is located on top of Castle Rock and provides a panoramic view of the city. Here, you can explore the castle grounds and even see an old cannon fired at 1 pm every day.
The Old Town also hosts St. Giles’ Cathedral, a beautiful Gothic church located on the main thoroughfare of this part of town, the Royal Mile.
