A mighty fortress, the defender of the nation and a world-famous visitor attraction – Edinburgh Castle has dominated the skyline for centuries.

This most famous of Scottish castles has a complex building history. The oldest part, St Margaret's Chapel, dates from the 12th century; the Great Hall was erected by James IV around 1510; the Half Moon Battery by the Regent Morton in the late 16th century; and the Scottish National War Memorial after the First World War.

The castle houses the Honours (Crown Jewels) of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny, the famous 15th century gun Mons Meg, the One o' Clock Gun and the National War Museum of Scotland.

In addition to guided tours provided by the castle stewards, there is an audio guide tour available in eight languages. The audio tour takes the visitor on a tour around the castle, explains its architecture, and tells its dramatic history. This guide is available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian.

A courtesy vehicle can take visitors with a disability to the top of the castle. Ramps and a lift give access to the Crown Jewels, and ramps provide access to the war memorial. For those with impaired vision, there is a free Braille guide and hands-on models of the Crown Jewels with Braille texts.

Please be aware that we are currently implementing some new measures with the MOD in relation to the viewing of the One O’clock Gun. As part of this, visitors are asked to please arrive at the new marked areas at least 10 minutes before, as we will limit access in the surrounding areas until after the gun has been fired.

• 5 January – 31 March: Opens 9:30 am, closes 17:00 (5 pm)

However, please keep in mind that you can’t enter the castle starting one hour before the actual closing time in order to allow enough time to explore the castle before it’s closed.

The castle is closed on the following days:

• December 26, Boxing Day

Castle gun salute:

The one o’clock gun is fired every day at 13:00, so don’t be alarmed by the sound. The gun is not fired on Sundays, Good Friday, and Christmas Day.

Pro Tip: You should make an online ticket reservation to guarantee entry. There is currently a limit on the number of visitors allowed inside, so booking ahead ensures you can get it.

Address: Castlehill, Edinburgh

Pro Tip: I recommend booking online to guarantee your visit and to plan exactly what you want to see. The easiest and safest way to purchase your ticket is from the castle’s official website.

How to Get There

Edinburgh Castle is easy to locate from various parts of the city because it sits on a hill in the city. Since the castle is centrally situated, there are many ways to reach it, but car is the least recommended.

Here are a few transportation options:

Edinburgh’s trams are easy to access and run every 7 minutes from early until late. The tram line runs from the airport to York Place in the city centre. The journey to Princes Street (Edinburgh’s main shopping street) from the airport takes approximately 30 minutes, but once you’re there, it’s only a 10-minute walk to the castle. Check Edinburgh tram’s website for exact times based on where you’re staying in Edinburgh.

The best two rail stations to take are: Waverley and Haymarket Stations, because they are the closest to the castle. Waverley is the city’s main and most central station. It’s just a short walk and the castle is visible from the station’s exit.

Haymarket is an excellent alternative if you’re travelling from west of Princes Street and located in the city centre. The walk is longer to the castle from here, about 20 minutes.

There are three main bus routes that are available and sensible to use. Firstly, the Airlink 100 express bus travels from the airport to the city centre. It takes about 25 minutes to reach Waverley Bridge which is located next to the main railway station. Visit Lothian Buses website for correct routes.

Some hop-on, hop-off bus tours stop at the castle as well. Moreover, you can use local buses on the following routes of: the Mound or George IV Bridge.

There is no public parking available at Edinburgh Castle. Instead, you can either park nearby at on-street parking zones or car parks. The nearest on-street parking zones are: Castle Terrace and Johnston Terrace. Additionally, Castle Terrace NCP is the nearest car park area.

Pro Tip: I don’t advise anyone to come with car, because it is hard to find a parking spot, and it can be crowded. Also, the car parks and zones have an entrance fee and hourly rate so come with cash or cards.  

By Bicycle:

There is no bicycle rack present at the castle. However, bicycle racks are available at the following destinations: Victoria Street, Waverley Station, and Chambers Street.

Pro Tip: I don’t recommend you to arrive on a bike because it’s hard to carry and find a safe place for it.

Famous Monuments, Rooms, and Activities in Edinburgh Castle

• St Margaret’s Chapel
• National War Museum
• The Royal Palace
• One o’Clock Gun
• Prisons of War
• The Royal Scots Dragoon Guard Museum
• David’s Tower
• Scottish National War Memorial

There’s a lot to see at this castle. You should spare at least 2-3 hours to see and explore all the attractions here!

More fun things to do at Edinburgh Castle:

You can shop at the Portcullis Shop which has fascinating gifts from Scottish crafts to scarves and more. Otherwise there’s the Crown Gift Shop if you want to choose luxurious products and gifts from Scottish designers.

However, my favorite shop is Whisky and Finest Food Shop where you can indulge in an iconic Scottish drinking experience. For example, you can taste local Edinburgh Gin to Traditional shortbread to whisky fudge, and more delicious delights.

Many visitors love to eat at one of the two incredible cafes. First is the Tea Room, which is both a stylish and elegant place to eat at. I highly recommend having the Afternoon Tea here—the experience and price is truly worth it. Make sure to pre-book your Afternoon Tea experience online.

Also, the Redcoat Café is lovely to eat at. From seasonal products to hot food, this café has it all.
