Holyrood Palace Tickets

At the end of the Royal Mile sits Holyroodhouse Palace (better known as Holyrood Palace), a jewel of classical architecture. You'll pass through the sumptuous baroque-style halls of the royal residence, looking for the footprints the Scottish monarchs left behind.

You can visit the bedrooms of the palace's most famous resident, Mary Stewart (the most famous Scottish Queen), and during the visit, you're sure to feel a member of royalty as you admire the decorative furniture of the time, as well as magnificent tapestries and royal portraits.

On the royal grounds, you can see the ruins of Holyrood Abbey and wander between its mysterious walls. And, don't miss the gardens, which extend into the land surrounding Arthur's seat!

During your visit, you'll have an audio guide in English that'll help you discover why Holyrood is one of the most admired palaces in Scotland.

Un rendez-vous nous avait été fixé avec consigne d’arriver 15mn en avance mais personne n'est v,venu. Renseignements pris c’était une visite libre avec audioguide et nous aurions pu y aller quand nous voulions Translate this opinion into English.

We were given an appointment with instructions to arrive 15 minutes early, but no one showed up. After checking, it was a self-guided tour with an audio guide, and we could have gone whenever we wanted. Opinion translated. Show original.
