点评:Absolutely worth the visit, but BOOK YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE! We booked just one day ahead in mid-September and were left with only two time slots to choose from. 😳
We spent about 2–2½ hours walking the entire grounds and going inside every building. There’s a ton to see — including St. Margaret’s Chapel, the oldest building in Edinburgh, the Crown Jewels, military exhibits, historic rooms and the famous One O’Clock Gun. 💥
One heads-up: no cameras are allowed in some areas, and photography is prohibited around the Crown Jewels and certain other exhibits, so don’t count on getting photos of everything.
There are also some seriously fun souvenirs. You can pay £27 to research your surname, then pay extra to have it put on a banner. And for the golfers, the main gift shop is reportedly the only place in Edinburgh to buy official St Andrews golf merchandise, with some items available for engraving. ⛳️
And then there’s the ridiculously tiny bottle of Scotch — recognized by Guinness World Records as the smallest commercially bottled Scotch whisky. At only £7, it makes an adorable little souvenir. 🥃😂
Add in the spectacular views over Edinburgh and the sheer amount of history packed inside these walls, and you’ve got a castle that absolutely earns its place on the Edinburgh must-do list.
Historic, massive, fascinating… and definitely worth the climb! 🏰
翻译:绝对值得一游,但一定要提前订票!我们在九月中旬只提前一天预订,结果只有两个时间段可供选择。😳
我们花了大约2到2个半小时的时间游览整个园区并参观了每一栋建筑。这里有太多值得看的东西了——包括爱丁堡最古老的建筑——圣玛格丽特礼拜堂、王室珠宝、军事展览、历史陈列室,还有著名的“一点钟炮”。💥
温馨提示:部分区域禁止携带相机。在王冠珠宝及其他一些展品周围禁止拍照,所以别指望能拍下所有东西的照片。
这里还有一些非常有趣的纪念品。你可以花27英镑来查询自己的姓氏起源,然后再额外付费将结果印在横幅上。而对于高尔夫爱好者来说,据称主礼品店是爱丁堡唯一能买到圣安德鲁斯高尔夫官方商品的地方,部分商品还可定制刻字服务。⛳️
还有那个小得离谱的苏格兰威士忌瓶——它被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为世界上最小的商业化装瓶的苏格兰威士忌。售价仅为7英镑,是个超可爱的小纪念品呢。🥃😂
再加上爱丁堡的绝美景色以及城堡内深厚的历史底蕴,这座城堡绝对值得被列入爱丁堡必游清单。
历史悠久、规模宏大又充满魅力……绝对值得你爬上去一探究竟!🏰
