Edinburgh's Hidden Gem 💐 Palace of Holyroodhouse

The Palace of Holyroodhouse, formerly the Holyrood Abbey, has undergone numerous expansions and transformations to become the palace it is today. The architectural style of the palace blends various elements, including Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque, making it one of the primary administrative residences of the British Queen. It has been the main residence of Scottish kings and queens since the 16th century. The interior decoration is exquisite, with many valuable works of art and cultural relics. The most famous is the apartment of Mary, Queen of Scots, where she lived through many dramatic events. The palace's Great Gallery displays portraits of successive Scottish monarchs, and there are many other rooms and exhibitions showcasing the history and culture of Scotland. 🏰 Each year, the Palace of Holyroodhouse attracts a large number of visitors. Visitors can tour the interior of the palace, admire precious artworks and relics, and learn about the history and culture of Scotland. Additionally, the palace hosts special events and exhibitions, such as concerts, theatrical performances, and art shows, providing visitors with more cultural experiences. Buying tickets in advance is cheaper than purchasing them on-site. I just checked the official website, and it's £20 per person if you book in advance, £22 if you buy on-site, and I noticed that the tickets I bought for the eleventh were £27 each 😓. The price fluctuations are so dramatic... Booking in advance allows you to choose a specific time, down to the minute. I arrived almost an hour and a half late, and I was still allowed in, so you can be more relaxed about this. Please also remember to double-check the date and time when purchasing tickets online in advance, as some tickets are non-refundable and cannot be changed, to avoid unnecessary losses. For those driving, there is a parking lot next to this attraction, and it's free on weekends. The restaurant inside the attraction is quite good, but we were in a hurry and took it away. Otherwise, we could have taken our time and enjoyed the atmosphere more. ⏰ Hours: Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, otherwise open from 9:30 to 18:00, 👀 Visit: Allocate one and a half hours, 🎫 Ticket prices: Currently £20 for an adult, £13 for young people aged 18-24, and £10 for children aged 5-17. #1MinuteTravelPlanning #HolidayDestinations #UKTravel #EdinburghTravel #CulturalAttractions #TravelTips #AttractionRecommendations
