Explore the Historic Enchantment of Edinburgh's Royal Mile

Visitors can enjoy guided historical tours, ghost walks, shopping for traditional Scottish goods, visiting museums and galleries, attending cultural festivals, and dining at traditional Scottish pubs and restaurants.

Access to the Royal Mile itself is free of charge. However, entry fees for attractions along the Mile vary. Trawelmart can offer discounted passes for multiple attractions and advice on the best deals.

The Royal Mile boasts a variety of dining options, from traditional Scottish restaurants like The Witchery by the Castle to casual pubs such as The World’s End. Visitors can also try Scottish street food and local delicacies in the area.

The Royal Mile is accessible by various modes of transport. Edinburgh’s efficient public bus service, trams, and taxis are readily available. Visitors can also explore on foot or rent bicycles for a more personal experience of the city.

The best time to visit the Royal Mile is during the summer, especially in August when the Edinburgh Festival Fringe takes place. Spring and early fall are also pleasant for fewer crowds and mild weather.

No specific dress code is required, but comfortable walking shoes are recommended as the cobbled streets can be challenging to navigate. Weather-appropriate clothing is advised, as Edinburgh’s weather can be unpredictable.

Unique experiences include attending a live bagpipe performance, exploring ancient and hidden closes, and participating in nighttime ghost tours that explore the Royal Mile’s spooky history.
