Parks & Nature

So close to the flat, a walk up Arthur's seat on a bright day is a great way to spend your afternoon. If you don't fancy going all the way up, take a walk along the crags or around Holyrood Park instead.

You'll see the meadows full of BBQ-ers on a sunny summer day, and there are always plenty of runners and dog walkers around too. The paths are lined with trees, it's a lovely quiet spot in the middle of a busy city. Listen out for buskers too!

Sightseeing

National Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in Scottish and world history, engineering or science. Take the lift up to the rooftop terrace for the best views of the city from within the city itself.

Arts & Culture

If you get chance to see the BP exhibition it's well worth a look! The cafe also serves really tasty lunches at affordable prices for its city centre location.
