The busiest tourist street in the Old Town of Edinburgh, the Royal Mile of Edinburgh comprises a succession of streets that run between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. In between, visitors can explore several other sites such as Castle Hill, the Lawnmarket, Parliament Square, High Street, Canongate, and Holyrood Park.

All in all, there are numerous museums, libraries, statues, shops, cafes, restaurants, and other significant sites on the Royal Mile. Some of the things visitors enjoy here include the Edinburgh Dungeon, a pub crawl, and going on a witchery or ghost tour to see the spookier side of the Royal Mile.
