The Royal Mile, Edinburgh

Absolutely magical and stunning street. The buildings really make you go back in time and all the different pubs and shops give a very nice atmosphere to the area. It's also a splendid walk to get to the castle. One of the top things to do in Edinburgh

Incredible part of the old city. Edinburgh castle itself would take almost the whole day to visit. The Scottish whiskey experience is not to be missed. The tartan weaving mill is excellent and loved the bagpipes being played on the road. I would love to visit again.

Fascinating artitecht and quite amazing old city vibe. This is must visit place if you are on tour to Edinburgh, generally very crowded but really good place to have a real feel of the city. Quite a few great picture spots here and good street side food on offering. Can easily spent few hours here roaming around.

Being Scottish I suppose we don’t appreciate how lucky we are that we can visit one of the worlds best streets within an hour or two of leaving our homes, from the gates of the Castle the thoroughfare stretches for 1 old Scottish mile to the palace of Holyrood which is the Queens official residence when in Edinburgh passing wonderful old buildings and closes full of history , bars , cafes and restaurants of all types crowd the street as well as lots of small unique shops that sell all types of stuff a visitor might want. A very enjoyable couple of hours can be had wandering down the Royal Mile.

Great place to visit. Loads of shops bars and restaurants. The fringe festival is held here every August. That's great to see. You can get a hop on hop off bus for £10 and do a tour of the city. It takes you right up to the castle. Great place to visit. Wavely Station is where you get of on the train right in centre of Princess street.
