Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh is a beautiful and peaceful park located in the heart of the city. The gardens are well-maintained with colorful flowers and lush green lawns. It's a great place to relax, have a picnic, or take a leisurely stroll. The views of Edinburgh Castle from the gardens are amazing. There are also many statues and monuments to explore. The gardens provide a quiet escape from the busy city streets. I highly recommend visiting Princes Street Gardens for a relaxing and scenic experience.

Currently used for the Christmas 🎄🎅🏾 market. Very busy lots of people and visitors. Many fun activities for the entire family and great lighting and colourful atmosphere.

A great experience at the Christmas market. Would have preferred to see more stalls selling different items as a few were missing that were there last year. This year also saw a lot of the stalls asking for tips when paying by card.

Finally got to see Princess Street Gardens . It was so beautiful and peaceful . The views are wonderful and it's an easy walk . You have a lot of benches to sit if you need to and a lot of options to have a drink and something to eat . Really a lovely place to get some rest .

This is actually “Prince’s Street Garden” This is the centre of the Edinburgh town. There’s a very lively market around where you get all the food cuisine here, including Indian. You also get the best shopping stores here

The garden is a tranquil and expansive green space conveniently situated in proximity to the heart of Edinburgh. It is accessible to the public and provides a serene ambiance conducive to relaxation, leisurely strolls, and picnics. Additionally, the garden offers panoramic vistas of Edinburgh Castle and other notable landmarks, rendering it an ideal destination for both local residents and visitors seeking a respite from the city's bustling environment.

It is a beautiful lush green garden. Entry is absolutely free. You can get a great view of the Edinburgh castle from the garden. It has a lot of flower’s during the spring. It is so peaceful and calm. Well maintained and lots of space to rest. Less crowded.

I LOVED this park. So lush, stunning statues, colorful flowers, great views of Edinburgh Castle, a big beautiful fountain and a lot of walking trails right alongside Princess Street.

Ross Fountain is such a beautiful cast iron structure water fountain located in Princes Street Garden overlooked Edinburgh Castle. It was installed in 1872 and restored in 2018. It can get crowded since everyone wanted to take photos with the fountain, but if you're patient you can get an amazing photo of the fountain with the Edinburgh castle in the background. You can also get food/drink from Pavilion Cafe Bar and sit down to eat while enjoying this gorgeous view.

What a cute little park! Easy walkway with beautiful budding plants (end of March, beginning of spring). You can see the Edinburgh castle and beautiful Gothic buildings all around since the park is on lower ground compared to the rest of the city. The famous picturesque Ross Fountain lives in this park. Highly recommended!

A beautiful, sprawling oasis in the middle of the city. The gardens here are lush and full of life. I was actually kind of dumbfounded when we rounded the corner and went down the stairs to enter. I wasn't expecting it to be so beautiful. In all honesty, we were more here for Wotjek the soldier bear's memorial statue than to visit a park but it was so nice, we found a place to just sit and people watch in the shade. After visiting Wotjek, we went to see Ross Fountain and had a snack in the area with food carts and picnic tables. This park seems like a fun place to hang out for lunch or to meet friends. I'm sure that they do concerts and all that as well, as I saw the staging for it.

First of all the Clock was the must amazing thing of all. Just gorgeous, could have gazed at it all day. I have no idea how they made this but it's fabulous. We also loved the fountain.

What a nice park to walk through. There was plenty of green everywhere and many shady spot to sit at. Many people actually were relaxing or sleeping under trees. There were many pretty flowers to look at and some of the trees had plaques talking about they were donated by someone or has some meaning. There are a few statues to look at as well. This park also had a few places you can stop by to get a drink at eat. They were mainly around this fountain I found, which looked cool. The day was perfect temperature to enjoy walking around and explore or just take a rest. A place I would recommend for a stroll or to even eat (just be careful on the birds people feed them).

Princes Street Gardens are two adjacent public parks in the heart of Edinburgh. These gardens were created in 1820 following the development of New Town and after the draining of the Nor Loch. Surrounded by many of Edinburgh's popular attractions, it's situated in the shadows of Edinburgh Castle and separates the Old Town from the New Town. One of the most notable attractions is the Scott Monument, a Neo-Gothic spire built in 1844 to honour Sir Walter Scott; a Scottish novelist, poet, playwright, and historian. Definitely not to be missed; it's huge and can seen from many different vantage points of the city. On the west end of Princes Street Gardens, you'll find the Ross Fountain, which was refurbished in 2018. There's also food stands and picnic tables to enjoy your food. My son's favorite part about visiting the gardens and Edinburgh in general was probably the playground here. It's the perfect place to have the kiddos run around and enjoy and get a bit of a break from all the sightseeing. It's a great place to relax and take a breather in the midst of this bustling city! I really enjoyed admiring Edinburgh Castle from below. It's beautiful here.

An oasis of tranquility and reflection in the middle of a bustling city. I've been coming here for about 40 years and it never ceases to amaze me how well the Scots take care of their gardens - even in the middle of a busy city. The Princes Street Gardens sit just below busy Princes Street with lots of bus and taxi traffic. Stepping down into this oasis of peace and quiet is a blessing in disguise. There is history here and a beautiful view. There is a monument to the efforts of Polish citizens. There are benches to sit down, relax and reflect on a busy day. There is an easy way out, and there is a meandering walk to the castle (closed because of work on the bridge one has to cross when I was there in May '19). Highly recommended.

Nice place in between old and new towns of Edinburgh is great to come relax, people watch and take in the beautiful scenery and city scape from below. The park is on three tiers with the lush lower and uppper levels. Really like coming to this park and recommend visiting if you're going to vacation here.

A wonderful little escape in the heart of the city. Located between old and new towns at the base of the castle this little park is a great place to escape the tourist of the royal mile and the buses of princeses street. When the sun is out, it is a great place to catch the rays with all the locals. It is also a cultural hub so you will often find festivals and markets pop up in the many corners of the garden.
