Walking up hill, you need to be fit to do this and comfortable walking shoes as well as a rain jacket.

Excellent views, walk was just the right length. We enjoyed it in glorious sunshine, might of helped!

Chose a good day for a hike up Arthurs seat via the radical rd. Well worth the climb for the views at the top. Descended into Duddingston for a well-earned drink at the Sheep's Heid - highly recommended!

You'll experience the scottish highlands right by the heart of the city. No need to mention the great views.

My girlfriend and I hiked up Arthur's Seat. It is a steep climb up to the top, but you should be able to do it in about 30 minutes. The view from the top is astounding. It's a beautiful spot to just sit there and take in the city below. It provides great views of Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.... More

Its quite a trek to the top - no problem if you are a fitness freak - but hard work on the legs of normal folk. That being said its a truly wonderful walk - serene with truly stunning views across Edinburgh, Leith and the Forth.

Great views from the top, and as hikes go its not too bad. Do wear appropriate footwear and a bottle of water though. I wore converse and it was fine, but slippy on tyhe way back down. It was a nice dry day, so perfect for a wee walk and view!

We hiked up this volcano early one morning. It was quite a workout and I was amazed to see locals jogging up! But, it only took about 45-minutes or so and we were rewarded with the best views of the city anywhere!

Great views and lovely walk, but not for the less able bodied. Gives you a good idea about the size of Edinburgh, I would recommend doing this in the morning when you have lots of energy, and early on in the trip to get a good view of Edinburgh as a whole. Bring good shoes!
