The BEST view in Edinburgh!

Calton Hill in Edinburgh is considered one of the best viewpoints in the city for several reasons: 1. **Panoramic Views**: From the top, you get sweeping views of Edinburgh, including landmarks like the Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, and the Firth of Forth. The vantage point allows you to see both the city's historic architecture and the natural landscape. 2. **Historical Monuments**: The hill is home to several iconic monuments, such as the National Monument and the Nelson Monument, which add to the site's historical and visual appeal. 3. **City and Nature**: Calton Hill offers a unique combination of urban and natural vistas, allowing you to appreciate Edinburgh's blend of cityscape and surrounding countryside. 4. **Accessibility**: It’s relatively easy to reach the summit from the city center, making it a convenient spot for both locals and tourists. These factors make Calton Hill a top spot for capturing the essence of Edinburgh’s beauty and history. #summerdestinations #edinburgh #caltonhill

[Edinburgh City at a Glance] In Scotland in winter, Edinburgh has short days, so it gets dark by 4 p.m. That’s why I recommend going up to Calton Hill around 3 p.m. to enjoy the ever-changing view of Edinburgh’s city center! You know that watching the sunset is a must, right?🧡 The view of the sea behind the clock tower is so pretty, so be sure to take a leisurely stroll around the back. Come to think of it, I went up to Calton Hill every day while I was in Edinburgh. Haha! And I went up early and enjoyed the sunset and night view while eating pizza I got from the Christmas market.🍕 It would be good to bring a warm drink and some light food with you.! 🥶 By the way, it’s really cold and windy, so I recommend wearing a hat, scarf, gloves, and other warm clothing!! ⭐️ In the next post, I'll show you a timelapse of the view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill!! #EdinburghTravel #ScotlandTravel #EnglandTravel #EuropeTravel #Edinburgh #Scotland #England #CaltonHill #edinburgh #scotland #caltonhill #LifeShotPlace#YearEndTravel#WinterTravel
