I was very skeptical given the fact that this chapel was brought to the fore by a film and instead I must say that I was very satisfied. We arrived using the 37 bus, as recommended by many, and I particularly enjoyed the journey through the outskirts of Edinburgh and the countryside with a beautiful view (the bus is double-decker and the ticket is very easy to get by downloading the App). The chapel is a true gem of medieval art (a bible, a bestiary and an alchemy manual). We visited it on a weekday in October with very few people and so we could appreciate it to the fullest. We arrived earlier than the booked time, but since there were few people they let us in immediately. Every 30 minutes there is a guide who tells and explains the story. Very good, nice and helpful. The sculptures and the setting are suggestive and it is fortunate that they have come down to us and that there has been the opportunity to undertake significant restorations. After the visit we stopped in the cafeteria and had the soup of the day. Good. I definitely recommend spending a half day on this visit.

Rosslyn Chapel is a very beautiful place built in the 1400’s by the St Clair family. The intricate carvings are fascinating and do not miss the included extremely interesting 30 minute talk by a well informed guide. There is a free brochure with Chapel admission and it has the highlights plotted out and explained. The visitors center and outside area has some nice displays as well and seemed very child friendly. The adjoining cafe looked very nice for a snack. The stone used to build the chapel was all locally sourced and is beautiful and varied in color. I wished we would have had more time to walk the surrounding grounds. Parking is plentiful and very close. Online booking is easy. We spent about 1.5 hours here.

Lovely chapel near Edinburgh. The chapel itself is quite small, but allow you like at least one hour and a half because it's full of details. We stayed for the 15-20 minutes explanations that enlighted us a lot about the place – it really worths the time and it's included on the ticket price. Lovely coffee place with great quiches, salads and bites.

We have visited this sacred site on a number of occasions and it still is a beautiful place with a wonderfully rich history. The staff were friendly and after paying the admission fee you can wander around the grounds and then enter the famous building. Photography inside is not allowed but you can take shots of the exterior. There are guided tours inside and I would recommend them as there is so much that you would miss without them. All in all a lovely and calming experience that should be a must do trip in Scotland.

Rosslyn Chapel, popularized by Dan Brown’s book the Da Vinci Code, is an intriguing stop for fans, more so, if you are interested in religious history and intricate stone works. Entry is scheduled with 90-minute time slots—advance booking is recommended, especially in summer. Staffs in the chapel were engaging and helpful. Free leaflets provided but no audio guide. We enjoyed the brief guide-led talk on the Chapel’s history and key features, it was informative. The site may pose challenges for those with mobility issues. Limited free parking is available. The Chapel is an excellent add-on to a day trip outside Edinburgh City Centre.

Beautiful construction that has good visiting structure with souvenir shop and cafeteria. I strongly suggest going to the hours during which there is a presentation of details and stories of the chapel by experts... makes all the difference. Photos from the outside are allowed, but not from the interior of the chapel.

Overwhelmingly lovely interior with wedding cake carvings everywhere - there are so many & so intricate. The shortish talk is informative, so worth a listen. So late in the year we just turned up in the afternoon & could buy tickets at the counter - worth being a bit early for a slot, as they'll let you in & to look round outside before dark. The no.37 bus from Princes Street or South Bridge only costs £2 each way, even though it takes 50mins & runs all night.

The chapel was built in 1446 and is located just outside of Edinburgh. The archaeological building is simply amazing with the flying buttresses and the stained glass windows outstanding. It is small, built I assume as a personal chapel. The chapel was featured toward the end of the movie DaVinci Code [starring Tom Hanks] and for good reason. Tom Hanks was so moved that he paid for a new roof that was in need of repair. I suggest buying tickets online through the chapel as they can accommodate only so many people per hour. Within walking distance is the ruins [not much left] of the castle also briefly shown in the movie.

We visited in June 2024 and were very impressed with the experience. The chapel was easy to reach with about an hour ride on the #37 bus from Edinburgh. We had pre booked tickets and the check in process was very smooth. The visitor’s center had a few exhibits and some nice merchandise for sale. The chapel exterior was impressive but the real highlight was the intricate chapel interior. The key carvings were well signed and there was an informative talk by one of the staff during our visit window. Well worth the day trip from Edinburgh!

This is a must do when visiting Edinburgh. To say that the chapel blew my mind is an understatement. You can feel the history as soon as you walk in and there are guides there to help you find and understand what you are looking at. The detail of the carvings, just incredible. Photography is not allowed inside the chapel and to be fair even the best photographer with the best camera in the world would still struggle to truly capture it.
