About This Attraction

Arthurs Seat is a popular hill located in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. It stands at about 251 meters and offers panoramic views of the city. This extinct volcano is a favorite spot for hikers and nature enthusiasts who enjoy its rugged terrain and scenic paths. Although there are no specific Arthurs Seat opening hours, Holyrood Park is generally accessible to the public all year round.

For those planning a visit, its important to wear suitable footwear due to the uneven ground. The walk to the summit can take around 30 minutes depending on the chosen route and fitness levels.
