The most obvious attraction of Edinburgh is its old town. Right in the centre of the city, you can stroll for hours, walking up to the Castle, down the Royal Mile, venturing into small alleys.
The Royal Mile is imposing in itself, with buildings like St Giles Cathedral, John Knox House and the Scottish Houses of Parliament, and other historical buildings. Walking down the Royal Mile has the added advantage that you can peep into the alleys leading down from the mile on both sides of the street. Some lead to closed courts, others lead to stairs going down the hill, but they all add to the picturesque feel of the Old Town of Edinburgh. Taking one of the side streets down offer the opportunity to see the skyline of the Old town from a distance.
