Beautiful view of the city and it provides insightful information on history of Edinburgh. It is best to get an earphone that provides audio tour if you do not have a tour guide.
You can’t miss it, and it’s sat on an extinct volcano. Worth the trek even if you don’t pay to go inside, Edinburgh castle is packed with history and detail.
A must do visit for anyone visiting Edinburgh.The castle is at the center of Edinburgh and at the center of much of its history.See the castle from the inside and the Crown Jewels as well.
If you can handle the crowds (maybe May, when I came, is just an extra busy time of year?), this is a wonderful place to wander for a few hours. There are lots of things to do within the castle walls, including smaller museums like the prison museum (complete with some fascinating historic graffiti) and the Scottish Crown Jewels, and a cafe and tea house. Plus plenty of spots to take photos of the amazing views of the city below. An afternoon well spent.
