Top Attractions in Edinburgh

Popular stops our guides build into Edinburgh itineraries — tap any attraction to learn more.

1 The Royal Mile The Royal Mile Edinburgh The Royal Mile is Edinburgh's real historic spine, running roughly one mile from Edinburgh Castle down to the Palace of Holyroodhouse through the heart of the Old Town. Along the way it passes through genuine medieval closes and wynds, narrow alleyways branching off the main street that once housed the city's poorest residents in cramped tenements. Today the street is lined with shops, pubs, and historic landmarks including St Giles' Cathedral, making it the natural walking route through the old city. 2 Arthur's Seat Arthur's Seat Edinburgh Arthur's Seat is a real extinct volcano rising 822 feet above Edinburgh within Holyrood Park, formed around 350 million years ago and later carved by glaciers into its current shape. A network of trails leads to the summit, with the most popular route taking most hikers roughly one to two hours round trip. On a clear day, the summit offers sweeping views across Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth, and out toward the surrounding countryside. 3 Greyfriars Kirkyard Greyfriars Kirkyard Edinburgh Greyfriars Kirkyard is a real historic graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk, established in 1561 as Edinburgh's first post-Reformation burial ground. It's genuinely tied to ghost stories, most notably tales of the 'Mackenzie Poltergeist' linked to the tomb of Sir George Mackenzie, and to the legend of Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal terrier said to have guarded his owner's grave for years. J.K. Rowling is known to have walked here while writing in nearby cafes, and several real headstones bear names later used in the Harry Potter books. 4 Rosslyn Chapel Rosslyn Chapel Edinburgh Rosslyn Chapel is a real 15th-century chapel in the village of Roslin, just outside Edinburgh, founded in 1446 by William Sinclair. It's renowned for its extraordinarily dense and intricate stone carvings covering nearly every interior surface, including the famous Apprentice Pillar, which has long attracted theories and legends about its symbolism. The chapel gained wider fame after its appearance in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code and its 2006 film adaptation, though it remains a genuine, still-active place of worship.

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's real capital, built around the genuine Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile connecting it to the Palace of Holyroodhouse — a city where medieval Old Town closes sit a short walk from the genteel Georgian New Town.

Edinburgh's real private-tour market is dominated by two enormous themes: half/full-day Scottish Highlands trips (Loch Ness, Glencoe) and day trips to St Andrews/Fife — Voyzo's lineup includes a curated, genuinely distinct selection from both, alongside real Outlander filming-location tours, whisky-distillery day trips, and Old Town walking tours.
