If you’re looking for free attractions in Edinburgh, whether you’re on a budget or just want to avoid overpriced tourist traps, this is your perfect guide. In recent years, Edinburgh has become quite expensive, even earning a spot as one of Europe’s most expensive cities. Even St Giles’ Cathedral, which has been free for centuries, is now charging a rather exorbitant fee to enter. Thankfully, some of the city’s best features are its beautiful landscapes and hiking trails, but Edinburgh also offers free museums, galleries, gardens, and more.
