Visita guiada al Castillo de Edimburgo con Entradas incluidas (opens in a new tab)

119 2 h

La atracción más visitada de Escocia fue también el escenario de su historia. Pueblos y personajes como los celtas o los romanos, Robert the Bruce, William Wallace o la corte de María Estuardo fueron partícipes de dicha historia; por otra parte, las joyas de los Honores de Escocia y la Piedra del Destino se encuentran también entre sus murallas, además de contar con museos dedicados al ejército y la actividad militar en el Reino Unido. Este castillo fue construido sobre un volcán y la vida empezó a crecer alrededor de él aproximadamente en el 900 a.C, y a partir del 600 d.C. apareció la primera fortaleza. La madera, por tanto, se convirtió en piedra, en refugio de reyes y en principal objetivo de los ingleses. Desde el último asedio jacobita en 1745, esta fortificación abandonó las funciones defensivas para convertirse en un símbolo nacional que recibe hoy en día a más de un millón de visitantes cada año.
