Abbiamo prenotato i biglietti online il giorno prima, nessun problema. Forniscono audioguida in varie lingue, la visita dura circa 2 ore, per chi ama la storia inglese ne vale assolutamente le pena, la storia della residenza è molto affascinante, ogni stanza ha tanto da raccontare. Non si possono fare foto all’interno del palazzo. Splendidi anche i giardini esterni. Abbiamo pranzato nel bar interno, buona selezione di panini, quiches , torte e bevande calde e fredde, ottimo il the, e la spesa era paragonabile a quella di vari locali e fast food già visitati in città , però il contesto molto più carino. Shop elegante ricco di souvenir per gli amanti dei Royals, ma prezzi a mio parere eccessivi.

The King’s Gallery at Holyrood is a real gem. It’s smaller and more intimate than the Palace itself, but that’s what makes it so enjoyable – you can take your time without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The exhibitions are beautifully curated and always changing, so there’s something fresh to see each visit. What I loved is how well presented everything is: the information is clear, interesting and not too wordy, and the setting itself feels calm and elegant. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, really look at the artwork, and appreciate it properly. It’s definitely worth adding on to a Palace visit – or even popping in on its own if you’re nearby. A peaceful little pocket of art and culture right in the heart of Edinburgh.
