Overall it was a very good experience. However, the ticket exchange process was different from the instructions. You needed to find the service staff, be led in by them, and then go to the designated place to exchange the ticket.

Edinburgh Old Town

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

Anonymous user

Very interesting place to visit to learn about the history of the royal family and see some great docorations. Self_guided audio tour was nicely put together and free with the entrance. I love the backdrop of Arthur&#39;s seat and the ruin of the chapel.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Informative tour to learn about Scottish Whisky, plus the tasting after that, highly recommended.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
