Om
Snabba fakta: Det rytmiska ekot av fotsteg blandas med århundraden av historia i de höga gotiska valven där monarker har blivit krönta. Bland den intrikata stenbearbetningen ligger eller är hedrade nästan 3 300 personer, inklusive poeter, vetenskapsmän och politiker, vilket gör det till en tyst berättare av nationens arv.
Höjdpunkter: Djupt inne i de gamla stenväggarna sträcker sig en mystisk samling om över 3 300 statyer som föreställer bibliska kungar längs klostrens gångar, var och en ungefär lika stor som ett litet barn. En egendomlig tradition involverar "Kröningsstolen" skapad 1296, som har använts för att kröna nästan varje engelsk monark sedan Edward I, och den gömmer hemligt Sconestens under sig, vilket länkar Skottland till England i en liten men kraftfull stol.
Insidertips
- Arrive at opening on weekdays to beat coach groups and get clearer views of the nave and tombs.
- Leave large luggage at your hotel, security checks are strict and bulky bags can slow entry.
- Buy a timed ticket online and use the included audio guide to quickly locate key tombs and memorials.
- Wear comfortable shoes, expect uneven stone steps and cobbles in the cloisters and nave.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker London, United Kingdom, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
