Arthur Seat

If you’re only in town for a short while we recommend Calton Hill over Arthur seat. However if you prefer longer walks ~2 hours Arthur Seat also provides excellent views of the city and surroundings.

Typically we recommend starting at Holyrood car park but it depends on where you're staying. The walk from the car park to the top of the hill is about 40 minutes for someone of "average fitness" i.e. you don't get tired climbing a few flights of stairs but also aren't a gym shark :) Be aware that some of the paths are quite rocky and uneven.
