Edinburgh Castle
Stretching down almost 100 feet, this tree-like coral shelf lies in the middle of a beautiful garden of gorgonians. It’s in these plants that the rare pygmy seahorse makes its home – so Amed Wall is your best shot of catching a glimpse. Reef sharks and sea turtles also roam these waters, so there’s no shortage of deep-sea wonders to check out.

Book 2 weeks before you arrive in Edinburg. Do not leave this castle for the end of the trip. Worth going BUT disappointed after seeing 18 castles all over Scotland all more beautiful for different reasons. Over ratedGuest review byNatalMalta - 8.0

Having a tour guide is recommended and you should plan on starting the tour around midday so that you get to see the canon firing at 1 pm. You do need to be able to walk on cobblestones and walk uphill. Not recommended for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobiityGuest review byRodney SAustralia - 10.0

In order to truly understand a country, it is essential to first become acquainted with its history, as well as its cultural and ethnographic heritage. The tour I took part in at Edinburgh Castle was led by an outstanding guide who skillfully maintained our interest throughout the experience. With a touch of humor, she presented only the most important and noteworthy highlights, making the tour both engaging and informative.Guest review byJolantaIreland - 10.0
Love it!
Love it! Took us longer than anticipated to walk around due to the crowds, in September. We pre-purchased out tickets for 11 a.m. thinking we'd end with the 1 p.m. gun salute. However, earlier crowds were still there at 11 a.m. and it just got busier and busier. It became tough to really enjoy the exhibits and the interior rooms got quite warm (it was wet the day we were there so we were carrying jackets). There were also lines to get into various spaces. When we left at 2 p.m. the line ups to get in were wild and I can't imagine what their experience would have been like. I would highly recommend getting your tickets in advance for the earlier time slots, if you really want to enjoy the exhibits around the castle.Guest review byCarolynCanada - 6.0
Not the most interesting castle. Fabulous views of the city.
Not the most interesting castle. Fabulous views of the city. Most of the interior has been stripped. The Crown jewels were absolutely nothing compared to The Tower of London exhibition. Very unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies all cobbles and slopes. Difficult with a stick. All in all a bit of a tourist trap all around the area.Guest review bycoralUnited Kingdom - 10.0

We saw Edinburgh Castle on our last trip but there is always something new to see. Look for the room with the tapestries hanging from the wall - they took 13.5 years to complete. Missed that last time. There is a lot to see.Guest review byThomasUnited States

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Excellent - What previous guests thought, 462 reviewsThe apartment we stayed in had a great view of Edinburgh Castle and really nice skylights to see out. The location was great, and the area itself was very walkable (if you don't mind hills and stairs). The location was close to lots of different stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. After spending time in another city before this one, it was nice that the apartment had a washer/dryer.Guest review byPenelopeUnited States

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very Good - What previous guests thought, 18 reviewsThe location was everything! Edinburgh is so walkable, and this apartment was easily accessible to many main attractions. Only a few minutes from the Edinburgh Castle! The facilities were clean and secure with a dual locked entry. I felt safe inside the property. Gorgeous interior. Bathroom was trendy and large, and the kitchen was stocked. All in all, I recommend anyone and everyone consider this home for their Scotland stay. Thanks for a great visit!Guest review byAmandaUnited States
- From $341.08 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 8,194 reviewsThis was a nice hotel located within walking distance of Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and the Grassmarket. The room was clean with comfortable beds and pillows (not super fluffy)! The breakfast was good, with the perfect chance to try Haggis (don't google what it is, just try it first). The staff was welcoming and helpful.Guest review byBarbaraUnited States
- From $966.28 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.6Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 155 reviewsThe hotel is fantastic. I've loved the interior design: it's beautiful and you really get the Scottish vibe. I recommend to include breakfast because you get a breathtaking view on Edinburgh Castle while eating. The location is amazing: I've been walking to every main Edinburgh attraction. EVERY person in the staff is amazingly helpful and warm. They gave me great advice about where to go, what to do and it has made my trip much easier and better. I'm super grateful and I'll come back with the family!Guest review bybenedicteUnited States

Easy walking distance to Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and other attractions. Almost across the road from a very good restaurant (Buck’s Bar). Paid parking available just behind the castle and very close to the flat. We booked a last minute stay and arrived within 20 minutes of booking - everything was ready and perfect. Host was quick to communicate and friendly.Guest review byZynriSouth Africa
