The Royal Mile is one of the most colourful streets of Edinburgh and throughout the years thanks to events, buskers, festival and the preservation of its historic buildings, it’s still a lovely place to visit and walk, for both locals and tourists.There are many things to see, Saint Giles, John Knox house, and of course Edinburgh’s Castle and the Royal palace of Holyrood, from which the street got its name. A mile, a royal mile, connecting the castle and the palace.If you have the time, enjoy (and finance) one of local buskers, great entertainment! And go whenever there’s a market/fair, you’ll find something nice and unexpected to bring home from your trip.

wonderful and a lot of fun. it was very busy.
Four streets rolled into one, the Royal Mile runs from the castle to thr palace and is absolutely jam packed full of history and atmosphere. You haven't been in Edinburgh until you've strolled down the cobbles.
The royal mile is where it is at! And by "it" I mean everything you might need in Edinburgh. The mile runs in between Holyrood and Edinburgh Castle and has all of the shops, pubs, and curiosities you need in the city. It is fun wandering between all of the little shops and looking at the range of souvenirs for sale.
Nice walk down to Holyrood. There’s a lot of nice restaurants and shops along the way. It’s really a mile.
