Calton Hill

It is certainly one of the most beautiful experiences you can have when visiting Edinburgh. I recommend that you go up to the Calton Hill Gardens in the evening to see the whole city iluminated, with a close up of Princess Street and in the background the Balmoral Hotel and the castle dominating the city. It's worth a trip up to this place, which is so close yet so far from the bustle of Edinburgh to enjoy the sounds of the city.

Absolutely suggested. From the hill you’ll have an incredible view of the city and you’ll be surrounding by incredible monuments! I went there during the winter and the summer and I liked both!

From there you will have stunning views of the city.
Also, this is the first stop if you want to arrive to the nearest mountain of the city from where you could have too a fantastic panorama of Edinburgh.
