We ran a 1/2 marathon in Edinburgh in April that started and finished at Holyrood Park. This was absolutely wonderful! Beautiful area and not at all what I expected from a Park.

Lovely place to stroll down to at the bottom of the royal mile. Shows you the magic of Edinburgh - one minute you're in the city, the next you're looking at an exting volcano and surrounded by greenlands and trees.
We hiked to the top of Holyrood Park and it was so enjoyable. It really gave you a great opportunity to look out at the City. It is a bit of a hike to reach the top but the views are unbelievable. I recommend it as one of the #1 things to do in Edinburgh. Best on a clear day.
regretfully we did not have much time to spend on the Hoyrood park but loved the typical Scottish flavor. we would love to return and do more trekking here
Fun visit for us off-peak travelers. The "manage it yourself" audio tour was ample but not overwhelming. Nice glimpse into royal life as they visit their Scottish home-away-from-home.
Great park with so much to see. Definitely climb Arthur's Seat if you get the chance and then check out the swan lake and St. Anthony's chapel ruins!
Interesting to wander through these rooms, history everywhere and the gardens are worth the visit anyway. Another part of Edinburgh to enjoy
I enjoy all things royal and this palace didn't disappoint. We were so fortunate to be able to see it the last day before closing for royal visits.
Gives a good over view of the history of Scottish royalty....follow this excursion along the Royal Mile up to the castles for a full experience.
fantastic views and nice work out!!! very safe and many people jogg by. be aware of falling stones as the signes say all aroud, but otherwise well worth the climbing up!
