1.5 Hours Climb up and down. Amazing 360 views over the city of Edinburgh. 

Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh is a must-do hike for stunning views of the city. This extinct volcano offers a slightly strenuous but totally worth it climb to the top. With multiple routes to choose from, including the more scenic option via Salisbury Crags, hikers can enjoy panoramic views and even explore the remains of St. Anthony's Chapel. Don't forget your camera and a windbreaker for those gusty moments at the summit!
