Stretching from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, The Royal Mile is the city’s most famous street and the perfect place to soak up Scottish history and culture. Every step along its cobbled path reveals something new — medieval closes, historic churches, lively pubs, shops filled with tartan and whisky, and street performers adding to the atmosphere.
Highlights include St. Giles’ Cathedral with its crown spire, the vibrant John Knox House, and charming hidden courtyards tucked away down narrow alleyways. Whether you’re exploring museums, browsing local crafts, or simply people-watching, the Royal Mile is always buzzing with energy.
✨ Why visit? It’s the heartbeat of Edinburgh, combining history, culture, and modern life in one unforgettable walk. Perfect for first-time visitors, photographers, and anyone who loves exploring on foot.
📍 Tip: Start early at the Castle and walk downhill toward Holyroodhouse — it’s easier on the legs and gives you the full historic journey.
