Prepare for a self-guided tour that covers history, art, and royal landmarks. Visit Edinburgh Castle to learn about the city’s history.
Walk around Arthur’s Seat for some quiet time outdoors.

Explore the castle’s exterior, and you can purchase a ticket (at your own expense) for its interior tour. If you’re not sure where to begin, use the sample itineraries to plan your visit, whether you’re in town for a day or longer.
