If a staycation is on the cards for you in the near future, take a look at these three things to do in Edinburgh which we guarantee will inspire you to visit the fabulous Scottish capital.
Edinburgh Castle
You can’t visit Edinburgh without seeing its famous castle, as it sits on a volcanic peak that can be seen from miles around. Boasting a fascinating history, even though you can see the castle from afar we would definitely recommend going inside to see some amazing artefacts from Scotland’s past. You’ll find everything from weapons to clothing on display, plus the Scottish Crown Jewels too!
Visit the 12th century St. Margaret’s Chapel, which is the oldest building in the whole city, and marvel at the Great Hall too. Due to its location, the castle offers amazing views across Edinburgh too, so there are plenty of unmissable photo opportunities that cannot be missed!
Arthur’s Seat
Above the greenery of Holyrood Park you’ll see Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano that boasts views which may rival those that you’ll get from Edinburgh Castle. You don’t need to be super-fit in order to hike to the top, just make sure that you have sensible walking shoes with you!
Holyrood Park itself is also a great place to wander around should you want to enjoy the great outdoors. With hills, lochs, and glens to discover, you’re sure to have a magical time.
Whisky tastings
Is it a trip to Edinburgh without trying some whisky? There are loads of different ways to taste this famous Scottish tipple during your time in its capital. Opt for a walking tour with a local guide who will show you all of the best bars to try, or book yourself a distillery experience if you’d like to learn more about how the drink is produced. You’ll also find out the best ways to enjoy it, not that it ever tastes anything less than wonderful!
