Description

Experience the magic of Edinburgh as you join a guided sunset hike up Arthur's Seat, the city's highest hill. This adventure takes you right into the heart of Holyrood Park, offering a taste of the Scottish Highlands without leaving the city limits.

Meet your knowledgeable local guide at the end of the Royal Mile about an hour before sunset. As you set off, you'll follow a scenic route through Holyrood Park, surrounded by open landscapes and the fresh Scottish air, leaving the city's bustle behind.

As you ascend, your guide will share fascinating stories about Edinburgh's history, Arthur's Seat, and the area's unique plants and wildlife. The sky transforms with spectacular colors, making the climb even more memorable.

At the summit, take in breathtaking panoramic views of Edinburgh and, on clear days, distant Scottish mountains. Capture unforgettable photos before descending safely with your guide, using provided headtorches as night falls.

This two-hour hike is suitable for most fitness levels, but be prepared for a 250-meter elevation gain and no facilities along the way. Secure your spot now to witness an Edinburgh sunset from its most iconic viewpoint!
