An outstanding cathedral in the heart of Edinburgh, I would recommend the guided tour which gives you an added insight into the history & architecture. Photography was allowed on our visit, though professionals need to apply for permission if selling their work.

Stunning atmosphere and architecture. However it is a proper religious church, if youre planning to attend any events here they are VERY Christian, its not a tourist attraction! The pre-Christmas carol evening was definitely not Rudolf & Santa! The organ music is impressive.

Absolutely stunning. Gift shop upstairs, bottom floor you can set up City of the Dead tours, in the basement there's a cafe. Inside the cathedral is gorgeous, happened to have gone in when a choir was singing. 100% worth the stop if you're on The Royal Mile.

Another Edinburgh attraction that is loaded with cool stuff, but completely bereft of signs/labels telling you what's interesting about the place. It's Scotland's most important kirk, and it's packed with history. Yet, once inside, it's hard to appreciate it, because there's simply not so much explanation around.

Great job by Scotland government to keep this old Church at such a good condition.Excellent place to visit and see the beautiful architecture. Next to this Church, there are lots of shops from where you can buy good Souvenirs.Also on the side of the church, there are a couple of really good cafes where you can sit, eat and enjoy coffee. Overall great experience.(Please like my review if it was helpful and suggest an edit if you would like me to change or update my review) thanks and have fun.
