荷里路德宮

Smooth redeem of the ticket. The palace plays an important role to the history and even now still key to the royal family.

Located precisely at the end of the Royal Mile the Holyrood Place has beeb a Royal residence since the 16th century, and the original Abbey was founded in 1128 (which is still on site). It is absolutely a must-see during your time in Edinburgh, being a perfect example of a working palace. But do not compare it to the Buckingham Palace in London, since those two are completely different in all aspects but one, which is it being a monarch residence. Some rooms are filled up to the brim with historic events, and are featured in the famous paintings. One of which is the bedchambers of Mary Queen of Scots where her dear friend was killed right in front of her (there is also a spot which is claimed to be bloodstained with his blood where his body was left). Overall immersive experience guaranteed and I highly recommend visiting this palace. Don't forget to visit the Holyrood Abbey as well, as it is one of the oldest places in all Edinburgh and is very authentic in its ruins.

Very interesting place to visit to learn about the history of the royal family and see some great docorations. Self_guided audio tour was nicely put together and free with the entrance. I love the backdrop of Arthur's seat and the ruin of the chapel.

We cannot take photo inside the building but we can take nice photo outside. Good experience for the tour with audio guided provided.

I am surprised by how interesting the tour turned out to be. The free audio guide gives visitors a good background of the palace and how it is used till today! Photography is not allowed inside the palace but that is good as it allows one to fully immerse in the grandeur. Take time to explore the palace gardens and the abbey though there is some reconstruction work at the abbey.
