Sightseeing
Another Edinburgh icon is the Castle which can be seen from many points of the city. You can pay to go inside and view the exhibitions, which are fascinating. But the real charm is just catching sight of it as you walk around the city.

The most famous street in Edinburgh. It leads from the castle down to Holyrood Palace, passing many shops, cafes and restaurants on the way. There are often street performers here, especially during the Fringe Festival. If you have time, take a walk down the narrow side streets leading from the Royal Mile. There are lots of beautiful surprises hidden away.
