Top Things to do in Edinburgh

TripAdvisor's No.1 UK Attraction!

Home to the Royal Family for over 40 years, The Royal Yacht Britannia has sailed over 1 million miles around the world! Now docked in Edinburgh, it’s rated the “UK’s No.1 Attraction” on TripAdvisor and “Scotland’s Best Visitor Attraction” by VisitScotland, so you know it’s going to be something special.

Meet the world-famous pandas, penguins and koalas at the zoo!

Animal lovers will be in their element at Edinburgh Zoo - home to the UK's only giant pandas and koalas, as well as more than 1000 other amazing animals!

The absolute highlight of the zoo is seeing the “Penguins on Parade”. The penguins’ enclosure is opened up and any birds who fancy a stroll can take a walk around the zoo with their keepers (this is run on an entirely voluntary basis so it’s the penguins’ choice whether they take part!)

Discover the city’s dark side….

Edinburgh’s past is peppered with murder, mystery and intrigue. Delve right into it at the Edinburgh Dungeon, where you’ll come face-to-face with the sinister duo Burke and Hare, go into freefall on a terrifying drop ride and journey through 1,000 years of the city’s blood-curdling history.

Prefer a side order of comedy with your horror? Jump on board a real 1960s funeral bus for a Ghost Bus Tour of the most horrific murder, torture and execution sites in the city!

Visit the Scottish Royal Residence

At the end of Edinburgh's Royal Mile you’ll find the Palace of Holyroodhouse - best-known as the home of Mary Queen of Scots – where you can get a glimpse into where Her Majesty The Queen spends her time when she’s in Scotland!

Not far from here is the legendary Arthur's Seat, a dormant volcano which you can climb for excellent view of the city.
