A walk up Arthurs seat is a great way to spent a sunny day. The views at the top are amazing and with so many routes to top, you choose how hard you want the journey to be. There's a lot of places to sit on the grass at the top for a picnic. Fantastic place!

Excellent hike if the weather is nice. I really recommend this hike as you can get stunning views and see the whole city (Castle, Calton Hill, the University, old and new town) from the top.

Great walk for the dog, and amazing views for pictures over Edinburgh. Would recommend this as a great walk to clear your head or just to see how amazing Edinburgh is.

A brisk hike to overlook the city...and if you are lucky a bag upper may be playing in the distance.

Excellent choice if you have a couple of hours to spare. A climb not for the feint of heart. If you reach the top and the weather is clear the views are stunning. You can drive your car up most of the way if need be.

Wear flat shoes! Also don't go up when it's really windy unless you're a strong walker. It was quite difficult to climb from the Hollyrood House end. The views are great of the castle though.

Not a mountain, of course, but the rugged core of an ancient volcano thrust out of Holyrood Park near Edinburgh city centre. A climbable favorite for locals and visitors, offering from its peak a 360 degree view for miles around - the city, the countryside and the Firth of Forth stretched out at your feet. Watch out for the weather... More

The view is amazing and the climb isn't too arduous. A truly unique place. You can see for miles and you can spend many happy moments trying to spot the various landmarks. Every time you go it is different depending on the weather and that is one of the main attractions as far as I'm concerned.

Maby is not the first thing you think to do at Edingburgh but definetly you have to do it. It's a must and it's worth it. Beatiful panoramic view to the city centre.
