Apie
Greiti faktai: The gardens sprawl across 70 acres just a mile from Edinburgh city center, housing over 13,000 plant species from around the globe. Ten enormous Victorian glasshouses contain everything from towering Amazonian water lilies to 200-year-old cycads that predate the dinosaurs.
Akcentai: Tucked inside the Temperate Palm House is a 150-year-old Chinese fan palm that survived both World Wars and a direct bomb blast in 1941, its scarred trunk still standing tall. The garden's Rock Garden, sprawling across four acres, is one of the largest in the world and blooms with alpine plants from the Himalayas that somehow thrive in Edinburgh's famously fickle weather.
Vidiniai patarimai
- Enter through the East Gate on Inverleith Row for the most dramatic approach past the pond and up toward the glasshouses.
- The Queen Mother's Memorial Garden behind the Palm House offers a quiet spot most tourists miss, with a lovely water feature and bench seating.
- Bring a picnic, the grassy lawns spread across the lower section near Inverleith Park are perfect for a lunch with skyline views.
- Skip the on-site cafe during peak hours, the Botanic Cottage tearoom serves better scones with fewer crowds.

Ar girdėjote apie nemokamas pėsčiųjų ekskursijas?
Po kelionių į daugiau nei 30 šalių yra viena dalykas, kurį norėčiau, kad kas nors būtų pasakęs nuo pat pradžių, ir tai visiškai pakeitė mano požiūrį į naujų miestų pažinimą.
Nemokamos pėsčiųjų ekskursijos. Taip, tikrai nemokamos. Nereikia kreditinės kortelės. Jokio spąsto.

Paliekate arbatpinigius, kokius manote tinkamus
Pabaigoje tiesiog paliekate arbatpinigius, kokius manote tinkamus
Aš dalyvavau tokiuose daugelyje miestų ir tai buvo beveik kiekvienos kelionės akcentas. Jei lankotės Edinburgh, Scotland, padarykite tai pirmą dieną. Vėliau man padėkosite.
