Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Night view

苏河家园

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Edinburgh Old Town

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

M12***57

Holyrood Palace is very spectacular, with ancient palace architectural style, classical style buildings, and very good landscaping. It is worth visiting. Britannia is worth visiting, but the fun is average and the cost performance is not high.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I&rsquo;m a whiskey enthusiast I really loved the royal mile and whiskey experience at the whisky trail, so much of variety to try helpful and experienced staff

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Oo西野司oO

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
