Written By Katherine McVey

Looking for some outdoor exercise during your time in Edinburgh? Hiking up the iconic Arthur’s Seat is a great way to get that workout in while enjoying the outdoors. And let’s be real, the view at the top is worth a bit of a sweat.

TIME

It will take you about 1 hour to get to the top if you stop to take pictures along the way (maybe 1.5 hours if you’re really into the photo game).

DIFFICULTY

4/10

Some may disagree but compared to a legit hike, this is more of a steady uphill walk 😉

You might even get to see some cute doggies along the way!

I was here in early March so the hillside wasn’t super green. I would imagine that it would be absolutely stunning in the summer!
