A day in Edinburgh 🗺️

#uktrip Spending a day in Edinburgh was like stepping into a storybook! 🏰 The city is a perfect blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy. I started my day at the iconic Edinburgh Castle, perched high on Castle Rock with breathtaking views over the city. The entry fee was around £19, which included access to the Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny – absolutely worth it for the history and stunning architecture alone. The walk along the Royal Mile from the castle was filled with charming shops, street performers, and historic buildings, making it easy to get lost in the atmosphere. 🎻 After soaking up the medieval vibes, I made my way to the picturesque Princes Street Gardens, the perfect spot for a relaxing picnic with the castle looming overhead. 🌳 For a bit of a thrill, I joined a ghost tour in the afternoon, exploring the eerie underground vaults and learning about Edinburgh's spooky past. 👻 The tour was fascinating and only cost about £15. Before sunset, I hiked up Arthur’s Seat, a dormant volcano that offers panoramic views of the city and beyond. The hike was a bit steep but manageable, and reaching the top was such a rewarding experience. 🏞️ To end the day, I grabbed a pint at a local pub on Grassmarket, soaking in the live music and lively atmosphere. Edinburgh is truly a city that has something for everyone – history buffs, nature lovers, and foodies alike. Can’t wait to come back and explore even more! #trip #edinburgh #scotlandadventures #historiccharm #royalmile #arthur'sSeat

#edinburghtrips 🏰✨ Edinburgh: where history whispers and adventures taste sweet 🍰🌿 We began our day wandering through Princes Street Gardens, a quiet green escape in the heart of the city, before following the peaceful Water of Leith trail—a little pause where the sound of the river feels like music. From there, the charm grew stronger: the curved fairytale lanes of West Bow Street called us in, every corner looking like a painting 🎨. By lunchtime, we landed on the Royal Mile. And let me tell you: the pasta there? Maman, I’m coming! 🍝😂 Add to that a slice of carrot cake so perfectly mastered that you’ll forget every other dessert you’ve ever had. In the afternoon, we stepped into the Elysian Museum, a mind-bending maze that plays with your senses and makes you lose track of reality 🌀. Then, on the way up to Edinburgh Castle, we stopped by St. Giles’ Cathedral. From there, the view opens wide over the whole city—its rooftops, its stories, and its sleeping volcano. And if you’re chasing something unforgettable, hike all the way up to Arthur’s Seat. The climb is worth every step: standing above Edinburgh, with the wind in your hair and the city at your feet, feels like owning a piece of the world 🌍💨. Edinburgh isn’t just a city—it’s a journey between myths, flavors, and skies. ✨ #Edinburgh #ScotlandDiaries #ArthurSeat #RoyalMile #PrincesStreetGardens #WestBowStreet #CarrotCakeLove #ElysianMuseum #StGilesCathedral #EdinburghCastle #TravelWithLove #CoupleDiaries #FaithAndTravel
