ejstravels says: Admission is 2.50 GBP, but totally worth it. You have to climb 287 steps to get to the top in a spirally spire that is sure to make you dizzy. It is so windy, but that is part of the fun and gives you magnificant views of Edinburgh city.

Haggis Tours 2 reviews
Nzelvis says: The Scottish Highlands may seem daunting for some, but not the folks at Haggis Tours. These Scots know what they are doing. Haggis offers 3, 6, 8, and 10 day tours of the Scottish Highlands, each tour led by a born and raised Scot. This reviewer took the 6 day tour, which is a great introduction …

During this period in Late November is Saint Andrew's day, I'm not sure which day exactly. If you are going to be in this city for this holiday do go to the castle on that day! E…

Arthur's Seat 3 reviews
kd8504 says: On a clear day this hike up a cliff has the best view of Edinburgh, the North Sea and the countryside. The hike isn't too hard either and it's a great way to get some exercise while on vacation. Ask any cab driver in Edinburgh and they can take you right to the bottom of the cliff.

jojostevie says: As this is just down the road from myself easy to get to. It free to get into the gardens and however there is a charge for going into the actual greenhouses. I wouldn't take kids here as they would (in my opinion get bored easily). If you are interested in horticulture or gardening you will love th…

OurWorldTrip says: A friend of mine told me he went to the vaults in Edinburgh but they are only accessible via tour. He couldn't remember the tour operator but it wasn't hard to find out. The crowd is called Mercat Tours and most tours start at the Mercat cross on High Street. We had a look at the different tours and…

Jas1313 says: Hillend is an artificial snowslope in Edinburgh. Equipment can be hired at the slope. It has tow-lifts and chair-lifts so getting up the hill is really easy. I have to admit it feels nothing like snow, it is a kind of fibreglass surface but it is very good for ski/snowboarding down. There is also a …

It is the official residence of the Queen when she is in Edinburgh. Tours are allowed when the Queen is not in residence, but photos may not be taken inside. Only a small porti…

#14 of 16 things to do in Edinburgh
Nzelvis says: Most people are unaware that the entire city of Edinburgh was built above an older city that existed on the same site. Well, it's true. The undercity, as it is now called, was abandoned some 200 years ago. Some say the undercity was abandoned due to the plague that was raging through the area, bu…

Calton Hill 1 review
caissef says: I've rated Calton Hill 3 stars 'cause it isn't going to change your life but if it was about how beautiful the view is: it would most certainly get at least a 4! Right at the end of Princes Street, Calton Hill is easy access and a pretty good spot for sunset. You have a gorgeous view of the Old …
