Достопримечательности и памятники в г. Эдинбург

“Fantastic free day out, you can spend hours here. Also have a restaurant on top floor”

“The nearest gallery to the flat. Packed with interest in terms of biography in art. Aside from that the building itself is an absolute star. Short walk then across St Andrews Square to the Scottish National Gallery. 10/15 minute bus ride depending on traffic or 25/30 minute walk but uphill. ”

“An amazing Victorian building with a huge, beautiful hall and lots of interesting things to see. Bring lots of time or, as it's free, nip in and out at your leisure : )”

“In my view as an art lover all the Scottish galleries make an effort to be accessible to all and they are the least stuffy of all British galleries. Towered over by the Castle the gallery is the prominent building on the garden side of Princes Street. Not to be missed for the breadth of content. If you like walking its walkable from the flat or otherwise a 15 minute bus ride from the Leith Walk bus stop opposite Casa Amiga. As ever great cafe but as its in town lots of alternatives nearby. Spend an hour to a week in here. It’s content really is that good! My favourite the Van Gogh’s ”

“This gallery is - like most of Edinburgh's galleries and museums - housed in a beautiful building (in this case, classical). There is much to see, but check out the Phoebe Traquair tapestries. Beautiful!”

“Find out what it was like to live in one of the New Town's houses when the New Town was built in 1820 or so. This is Tom's favourite attraction.”

“The Scott Monument is a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. It is the second largest monument to a writer in the world after the José Martí monument in Havana.

The tower is 200 feet 6 inches (61.11 m) high, and has a series of viewing platforms reached by a series of narrow spiral staircases giving panoramic views of central Edinburgh and its surroundings. The highest platform is reached by a total of 288 steps.”

“Historic setting beside the castle and then walk down the royal Mile to Holyrood.”

“A beautiful ruined chapel - where I took the photo on the cover of this guide!”

“Great Views from the top of this City Centre Hill. Climb the fake Parthenon or just take up a picnic and enjoy the views from near the observatory at the top”

“The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the Queen's official Edinburgh residence and has frequently been at the center of Scottish history.”

“Close to Arthurs Seat and the Scottish Parliament and Royal Mile. A great day out exploring Edinburgh's history.”

“Known as such as it is one mile long and connects two of Edinburgh's most iconic locations - Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle, this is one of the busiest streets in Old Town. The Royal Mile is an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions. During the August Edinburgh Festival, the High Street becomes crowded with tourists, entertainers and buskers. It has various souvenir shops along with vintage and quirky bohemian clothes shops, you will also find multiple traditional whiskey shops and drinks locally sourced from Edinburgh and wider Scotland for you to sample and buy. You can also browse through various shops selling Scottish tartan and tweeds. ”
