The famous "Marikin Street" and "Nanqiao cellar" finally found that the alley downstairs of the hotel had been marked with ghosts. This series of coincidences is so amazing that I love this ghostly city.
Marikin Alley is located under a building in the old city of Edinburgh, which is equivalent to a narrow basement. More than 700 people used to live in this very narrow building. It was buried here after being killed by the plague. Now there are building models inside, which need guide's explanation to understand.
Fascinating view of Edinburgh in the 17th century. The Close (a system of alleyways and courtyards), in the Old Town, was partially demolished and buried due to the building of the Royal Exchange in the 18th century. There are many myths and urban legends associated with the close - tales of murders and hauntings make this quite an eerie visit, particularly since this is entirely underground.
You might think this is a tourist trap, but it’s one of the best ways to explore Edinburgh’s history and have fun at the same time. If you’re a stick-in-the-mud then don’t go, because you do need to participate to have fun.
Spooky, fun and interesting. Roam through Edinburgh's long-forgotten old streets underneath the City above.
The Real Mary King's Close is a hidden gem of Edinburgh. You are paying only 15 pounds per person and in return you are getting the wonderful tour of the city's undergrounds! You can see how people lived in the past and learn a lot about the history of Scotland. It was great.
Fascinating view of the old town and how life was lived. Bit gimmicky but don't let that put you off.
