The Royal Mile is the street leading up to the castle, and is a standard tourist spot. Lots of museums, restaurants, and gift options are in the area.

Best thing you can do is take a stroll the one mile from the Castle down to Holyrood Palace

Take time to walk along the Royal Mile. One end is the Castle, the other end is Holyrood Palace. The mile is full of shops and pubs - you could spend a whole afternoon walking along it!

If you are in Edinburgh for the festival this is most likely the area that you will visit. Not only is the Royal Mile a year round tourist attraction but the ticket office for Festival shows is found about half way up the royal mile so you will most likely go there.

It is a really nice walk although some people prefer to start at the top (Edinburgh Castle end) and walk down, to then get the bus back up. This area is also full of bars and restaurants and lots of historic monuments.
