If you're looking for somewhere to visit this autumn, you can't miss out on this exciting city. At any time of the year, this city is a vibrant hub of art, culture and history, but in the colder months, it's even more charming.

A local has said that autumn is the best season to visit Edinburgh. On a website called Dutch Blogger on the Move, the blogger wrote: "If you ask me, autumn is the absolute best time to be in Edinburgh! "As someone who's called this city home for over 10 years, I've experienced every season-and Edinburgh in autumn is truly magical.

"The cobbled streets glisten in the rain, foggy mornings make the castle look like something straight out of a fairytale and the changing of the leaves makes the whole city look incredibly striking."

If you're wondering what to do in the city, you can visit Princes Street Gardens or see the city's stunning castle.

While you're exploring Edinburgh, take a moment to notice its medieval stone buildings and walls set against the autumn leaves.

You can also visit the Royal Mile, which is an enchanting part of the city, with its cobbled lanes and candle-lit pubs.

For panoramic views of the city, you should visit Arthur's Seat, the extinct volcano rising above the city.

One person who visited on Tripadvisor said: "A slightly challenging but extremely rewarding walk that leaves you breath taken by the beautiful views where you can see the whole city. Another must do if in the Edinburgh area!"

Another person penned: "Arthur's Seat is an incredible experience and one of the highlights of visiting Edinburgh!

"The hike is refreshing, and once you reach the top, the panoramic view of the entire city is absolutely breathtaking.

"Whether you go early in the morning for sunrise or later in the day, the scenery never disappoints."

Autumn is the perfect time of year to visit Edinburgh and if you're looking for a staycation - this could be the city for you.
