During my first visit to Edinburgh, I didn't have enough time to go to Arthur's Seat, which is the main peak of the group of hills located in the centre of Edinburgh. I could only admire it from the bottom standing close to the Scottish Parliament. I wanted so much to climb it, but there was no time so I promised myself that one day when I come back to Edi, I will climb it.

I kept the promise and on a sunny summer day I climbed Arthur's Seat. I enjoyed it so much. Not only was I happy to climb or rather walk and be in contact with nature, but also all those views around me were so amazing. Few more steps up and you can see more and more including the sea. Arthur's Seat is a great place to walk, climb, relax, take pictures, read books, listen to music, go jogging or even ride a bike.
I walked a lot and I even reached the highest peak, but I didn't choose the hardest route to get there. It reminded me of my nightmares about driving when the road is so vertical that it is impossible to drive. So instead of giving up on the way to the peak, I chose another longer and interesting route and reached it safely.
In a nutshell, you can see a panorama of Edinburgh with all attractions like the castle, Calton Hill, the Parliament, the Holyrood Palace, the sea and whole beauty of the city.
