Many said it's overrated, but I think it's one of the iconic place to visit, especially if you visit at the right time (when it's not as busy). Fantastic view from different spots of the castle and learn about some history. Indeed it's military heavy and some controversial military "honours" to those invasion wars. Don't expect a huge space to visit though.
The castle is over a thousand years old and offers a beautiful view overlooking the city. You can see the dungeon, the Scottish crown and scepter, and several museums. The restaurant inside is delicious, serving snacks and hot meals.

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers' happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.
Awesome place! Had an amazing experience—highly recommended for everyone to visit!

Very interesting place to visit to learn about the history of the royal family and see some great docorations. Self_guided audio tour was nicely put together and free with the entrance. I love the backdrop of Arthur's seat and the ruin of the chapel.
excellent chance to know the palace more and who rules scotland, would be great for tourists to pay a visit

It is necessary to go there. It is indeed very historic. It is free for those under 17 years old. Students over 18 years old can buy student tickets. It is better to make an appointment one day in advance. We made an appointment when we arrived and found that we could enter more than an hour later. At that time, a certain pig was cheaper, but it was later, so we chose Ctrip to place an order. It is necessary to make an appointment one day in advance.
The British tour to York, this is the famous historical and cultural city of the United Kingdom, with Gothic York Cathedral. The church is a cross-shaped structure, with a steep, dignified spire, light and beautiful flying walls, and excellent architectural design and sculpture. The Hogwarts Hall in the Harry Potter series is filmed in the York Church Hall and worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend the buggy ride around the garden. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The house and all the staff made you feel very welcome and relaxed.The markets are really good and have a very nice vibe and the house itself is decorated very well with a different theme every year. This year it's Henry and the Lion! The gardens are also lit up at night so definitely go for a walk after leaving the house if you have time. You will need to book tickets early ..
Chatsworth House is a must-visit for those interested in English heritage, art, and landscape design. Its grandeur, rich history, and scenic surroundings make it a memorable and enjoyable experience for all ages.

This is a pilgrimage, as a Liverpool fan. No matter how this journey is perceived by others, it is a perfect one in my heart. Especially when I passed through the player tunnel and saw the sign of Anfield, my heart was filled with emotion. When I stood on the stadium and closed my eyes, I could imagine the bustling crowds here on match days.
Anfield has always been a nice stadium. The Kop driving the atmosphere into the other stands. Now they two stands have been extended I have been worried that the atmosphere might be lost, particularly when seared in the upper tiers but having experienced several seat locations I have to say that it's as good as ever. Probably one of the good stadiums in Europe.The exterior has been vastly improved over the years too , We did the stadium tour and it was very good. Audio tour on every corner. 😃

This attraction is really immersive and fun whilst being informative. Diving into the history of how the titanic right from the beginning the experience really gives you a clear idea on how people lived and worked back then. This tour is perfect for any age group and is a great way to spend a few outs of your day.
A museum worth visiting, the scenery is great, there are many stories about the Titanic, and Chinese audio guides are provided, but it costs 5 pounds per unit. It is worth it. The most worthwhile place to visit in Belfast.

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh.
"Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you."
This is the location of Jay Chou's MV "Obviously",
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling's creation of "Harry Potter".
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
