Royal Botanic Gardens

The Royal Botanic Gardens is a place where you can experience the delightful feeling of immersing yourself in a vibrant and lively natural environment, learning about the characteristics of millions of plant species from all over the world, while strolling along picturesque trails and breathing in the incredibly fresh and pure air.

"The throne of King Arthur" - Arthur's Seat

Arthur's Seat is a hill located about 2.5 km east of Edinburgh's Old Town. It is the remains of a volcano that last erupted violently over 350 million years ago. From the "Throne of King Arthur," at an altitude of 250 meters, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Scottish capital's Old Town bathed in a brilliant golden glow at sunset. Since the sun in Europe sets late in the summer, visitors can relax on the "throne" until 9 PM while the sun still shines brightly.

Dean Village

Dean Village is a beautiful old village located just northwest of Edinburgh city centre, a 5-minute walk from Princes Street. It is also known as the "Watermill Village" and is the center of a thriving watermill area that has flourished for over 800 years.

Edinburgh Castle

Located on a hill steeped in history to the west of Edinburgh's Old Town, Edinburgh Castle is one of the best-preserved fortresses in Scotland. Visiting this medieval castle, tourists are treated to expansive views and captivated by its charming design and unique historical story.

Leith Neighborhood

Not a top tourist attraction, nor a cultural landmark or historical monument, but the charming and tranquil Leith neighborhood still holds a special place in the hearts of the Scottish people. Strolling along the harbor in the summer sun, lingering in the roadside cafes is the best way to experience and understand the daily life of the locals.

Scott Memorial

The Scott Monument, nestled between the Old Town and the New Town, is a stunning Gothic architectural masterpiece that can inspire the hearts of all who appreciate it. Standing atop this 60-meter-high central tower is the most romantic spot to watch the sunset in Edinburgh!

St. Giles Church

Located right in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, this medieval cathedral is considered one of Edinburgh's most impressive historical landmarks. With its imposing exterior and fascinating historical stories, St. Giles Cathedral is a place where many visitors from all over the world leave their wishes inscribed.
