Edinburgh may be one of my favourite cities I have visited, the walkability and perks of the city meet the incredible and unique Scottish landscape that surrounds it.
The architecture of the city is great to wander and with the geography of Edinburgh being so unique, unconventionally tall buildings are not too uncommon! Starting at the National Museum of Scotland was a great way to start off the trip, it also features a rooftop terrace which provides a clear view of the Castle.
The Dean Village is also a nice place to stop by, or visit as a mid-point if you’re heading somewhere else. It’s slightly out of the city centre but easy to incorporate into a walk thanks to the path running through it.
Of course, I’m not going to miss the opportunity to head up Arthur’s Seat and get a bird’s eye view of the city. The climb was steep but rewarding with clear views all around. There is definitely a visual juxtaposition with the sight of the ancient extinct volcano and the city in the distance.
I really enjoyed my visit here, and I hope to return again soon – there is so much to see and do! There are also several National Galleries within the city which I’d highly worth recommend visiting.
