Such beautiful architecture all throughout! You cannot go to Edinburgh without walking this street and taking all of its beauty in.
If you are in town for Halloween , definitely put the fire show on your list.
Take one of the countless free tours . Or just pick a direction, walk, and don't be afraid to get lost down one of the side streets.
The Royal Mile has to be seen to be believed. Scotland ???????????????????????????? is incredible, and the Royal Mile is a cherry on top of that incredible. #Scotland #UnitedKingdom ????????????????????????????????????
Look at the Castle at the top if the Royal Mile - try for about 1pm because that's when they fire the gun each day. Then walk down the royal mile &make sure you go down a few closes and look up lots
The Royal Mile is actually more than a mile by 107 yards. It starts at the Castle entrance to the gates of Holyrood Palace !
The Royal Mile, is the area of High St from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrod (Queen's Palace ). It is a very historic part of Edinburgh.
End of Royal mile (nearby Palace of Holyrood) nice exploring small streets and courts apart from Main Street!
Bit touristy but a good flavor of how it may have been long time ago. Taking a stroll at night in the crisp evening air is memorable
Wonderful to walk the whole length, slowly taking in all the sights.
Lovely place for a walk to take in the atmosphere. Walk from the castle right to the palace .
You can spend hours walking up and down the Royal Mile as there are so many stores to check out
Start at the bottom of the Royal Mile (at the Scottish Parliament) because it's a good way to start quietly before encountering the masses in the center and top.
Some of the most popular attractions are to be found at the upper end of the Royal Mile - commonly called Castle Hill -
Near the castle of edinburgh don't miss world of illusions! You pay around 13£ but it's a great experience!
Lovely city , nice people. I really enjoyed
A lovely walk with plenty to see! We started at Holyrood Palace and worked our way to the castle
Lots to see all year and even more in August with the festival
Get a free walking tour , it's the greatest way of learning city history while you are actually seeing it.
Look for the City Chambers time capsule in the cobblestones near the crossing at George IV Bridge . It's under a golden brick and inside the capsule is a picture of me!
Amazing whisky shops and great architecture up and down. Incredible!!!
Seek out Mile Amusements a free 3 jour tour of the Royal Mile hidden gems . Head to St Giles Cathedral got more info
The White Heart Inn on the Grass Market had the most excellent Steak & Ale Pie ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassmarket
Magical! You feel lost in time with the architecture that surrounds you.
The most visited Street of Edinburgh, in the period of the festival is something special
Nice atmosphere. And a lot of nice pubs
Love the shops on the road . Do stock up on all the Scottish whisky you can while here ????
Amazing views and makes me fall in love with Edinburgh!
lots of free 'street entertainment' shows go on here throughout the yr!, worth a visit especially during the fringe festival , a buzzin atmosphere!
Get a free walking tour..great tour guides...starts at 11 and 14h near Starbucks...
Good luck avoiding the massive crowds. If you haven't memorized the tune Scotland the Brave piped out by pipers dotting the mile, you must be dreaming.
Heart of Edinburgh with many fine bars and restaurants but also overpriced tourist shops
Pubs and souvenir shops litter the mile. And go I to the former cathedrals for a walk-about
Really worth a visit at Christmas for the Streets of Light
Can get a little busy during festival session
Free Tours start at Starbucks at 11 am and 1 pm, totally worth it!
A good walk to get a feel of the city
Worth checking out for the performers . I was just asked to chain a contortionist up.
The most famous street in the city
A wonderful stroll through the city
Touristy , but you have to do it!
Use short cut from tron to Johnston terrace before bollards come up at 1030am
Bit of a tourist trap but stunning none the less.
Always buzzing and exciting, especially during the Fringe !
When in doubt of the weather, just wear waterproof jacket with hoodies!
Really pretty in a good sunset or sunrise.
A walk down a fairytale...
Great place
