Edinburgh Castle is the dominant feature of the skyline, but exploring beneath its granite walls reveals museums and quaint alleyways.

For a peaceful afternoon, head over to the Royal Botanic Garden for a tranquil escape.
Make Edinburgh Castle a priority on your list of places to see; listen out for the daily noonday gun. Discover the Grassmarket area of the Old Town, filled with charming cafés, restaurants, and shops. You can get a unique panoramic view of the city from the Camera Obscura on Castle Hill.
Edinburgh also boasts excellent concert and theatre venues like the Edinburgh Playhouse and Festival Theatre. Before your trip concludes, try to visit Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano offering spectacular views just east of the city.
