Calton Hill, one of Edinburgh’s most iconic landmarks, offers panoramic views of the city’s skyline, including Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, and the Firth of Forth. Located just a short walk from Princes Street, this historic hill is home to several striking monuments, including the National Monument, inspired by the Parthenon, and the Nelson Monument, which commemorates Admiral Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar. With its mix of neoclassical architecture, open green spaces, and breathtaking vistas, Calton Hill is a favorite spot for both visitors and locals, especially at sunrise and sunset.
