    Tips

    June 16, 2025

    To enhance your visit to Edinburgh Castle, consider starting your exploration at the topmost areas, such as Crown Square, and working your way down. This approach allows you to experience the castle's highlights, like the Great Hall and St. Margaret's Chapel, before descending to other attractions. Additionally, be aware that the castle's steep, cobbled pathways can be challenging; wearing comfortable footwear is advisable.
