Lucky you! Edinburgh’s great. It isn’t the biggest city in Scotland, but it’s very
beautiful and has an amazing history. The best place to start is Edinburgh Castle.
This sits up on top of Castle Rock and from here you can see the whole city below
you. It gets very busy in the summer.
Next, walk down the Royal Mile, through Edinburgh’s 12th-century Old Town. Don’t
miss St Giles’ Cathedral and the Camera Obscura. This amazing museum is all about
how we see things, and has floating fish, funny mirrors and a 3D tunnel of stars. They
sell great postcards there.
At the bottom of the Royal Mile is the Queen’s Edinburgh home, the Palace of
Holyroodhouse. When the Queen isn’t there, you can visit the rooms and gardens.
Next to the Palace is the Scottish Parliament. Spanish architect Enric Miralles
designed it. Parts of it look like fishing boats on the beach. There are also roof
gardens and fountains. And you can visit it for free!
You should also go to Edinburgh’s New Town. This area isn’t very new actually – it’s
over 200 years old! The most famous street in Edinburgh, called Princes Street, is in
New Town. Here you find Edinburgh’s best shops and department stores.
If you haven’t got much time, you can see Edinburgh with a tour guide. Choose from
walking tours, cycle tours and even ghost tours. These take you through the narrow
streets of the Old Town late at night, and include scary stories from the 18th century.
Don’t forget to take a good guidebook – and your raincoat. It often rains
in Edinburgh. Have a great time!
