Such as nice place to go and walk through. We went for a picnic and it was incredible to look right up at the castle whilst eating your cheese sandwhich. I'm sure it was different for William Wallace!

What a wonderful setting, a garden beneath the castle and away from the bussle of Princes Street. On this visit, some of the paths were closed which was disappointing and the flower clock was not functioning but this didn't take away from the calm and beauty of the gardens with their lovely tulips.
Finally got a bit of sunshine and took a break from the wife's shopping and grabbed a bit of lunch.Great views of the castle and many of Edinburgh's famous landmarks.Just find a piece of grass and sit and relax under a tree and watch the world go by and its totally FREE!!
On a nice day buy a picnic and sit here. Take in the atmosphere, relax under the view of the castle and enoy!

Lovely gardens clean and tidy. Squirrels kept us amused. Sunshine helped lovely place to sit and relax.
Beautiful gardens with lots of benches to relax and chill out on! The gardens are very well kept and very clean!

The gardens have long since been a favourite of mine as I have been visiting since the 60's. I have seen it go through many changes but the general views have remained largely unspoiled. There are few cities in the world that can boast such a setting within a city centre as Prices Street Gardens with the main shopping street...
