点评:We walked from our hotel to the Royal Mile, and then on the side streets to look at all that Edinburgh had to offer. The best time to avoid crowds is to get there first thing in the morning. The next best time would be to take a walk after dinner. There will be crowds during the summer, but that’s part of the fun also.
I especially like the old architecture, seeing Saint Giles Cathedral, and walking between Edinburgh Castle, and Holyrood Palace. We had entry tickets to Edinburgh Castle for opening time which is currently 9:30 AM. We also went into Saint Giles Cathedral, midday, which was busy but manageable. There was not as many people at the other end of the Royal Mile, where Holyrood Palace is located, but its a must see since it is an active Palace where King Charles still comes with the family.
In between the castle at one end and the palace at the other end, there are endless numbers of pubs, eateries, and cute bakeries with great sweets . While wandering around, you will see lots of tourists, but you will also see lots of locals so my suggestion would be to take it all in, enjoy the architecture, the new, and the old and plan to spend a full day covering everything from one end to the other.
翻译:我们从酒店步行到皇家大道,然后沿着小巷欣赏爱丁堡的风光。避开人群的最佳时间是清晨一早到达。其次是晚饭后散步。夏天人潮会比较多,但这也是乐趣的一部分。
我特别喜欢古老的建筑,参观圣吉尔斯大教堂,以及在爱丁堡城堡和荷里路德宫之间漫步。我们买了爱丁堡城堡的门票,开放时间是上午9:30。中午我们还去了圣吉尔斯大教堂,那里人潮拥挤,但还可以接受。皇家大道另一端的荷里路德宫人不多,但这里也是必看景点,因为查理国王仍然带着家人在这里居住。
在城堡和荷里路德宫之间,有无数的酒吧、餐馆和出售美味甜点的精致面包店。四处闲逛时,你会看到很多游客,但也会看到很多当地人,所以我的建议是把这一切都看一遍,欣赏这里的建筑、新的和旧的,并计划花一整天的时间从一端到另一端游览一切。
