In Edinburgh there are many interesting sights, among which is the Balmoral Hotel with a giant clock on the tower (the symbol of the city), Edinburgh Castle and the so-called "Royal Mile", leading from the castle to the palace Holyroodhaus (the former palace of Mary Stuart, and now the residence of the Queen of England). In the center of the city lies the street "Princes Street", which houses the famous Scottish Monument and the National Picture Gallery. Not far from the palace towers the rock "King Arthur's Throne."

Also noteworthy is the Roslin chapel, richly decorated with symbolic sculptures and frescoes with descriptions of Biblical stories, the times of the Knights of the Order of the Templars and the Masonic Society. Now, thanks to Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", it has become even more popular with tourists - in fact it is the action of the last chapter of the novel

Other sights of Edinburgh: the church of St. Marguerites, castle Castle Rock, royal residence in Scotland, the church of St. Gilles, the building of the Scottish Parliament, the Royal Museum, the museums of modern history and the history of Scotland

And if you manage to cram something else into such a rich program, you should pay attention to the city's galleries: Fruitmarket, Talbot Rice, the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, National Portrait Gallery of Scotland, Museum of Scotland
