Calton Hill is more than just a viewpoint, it’s most famously home to the unfinished National Monument, which sits on the skyline appearing like an Athenian acropolis

A short walk up from Waterloo Place at the east end of Princes Street to this iconic viewpoint where you can take in the city’s skyline view. A lovely location to watch the sun set.

Amazing views from the top of this small hill right in the centre of town. Just continue eastwards along Princes Street and after a few minutes you'll see the steps on the left. We'll worth the climb.

Book brunch at the incredible Lookout restaurant at the top for a meal with the best view in Edinburgh.
