I'd say the wider/easier path on the left, which will bring you right down to the road, dog park area, and parking.

¡Hola, Marta! La montaña no está asegurada por vallas, etc. Así que deberías mantener a la chica contigo y no dejar que huya sin pensar. De lo contrario, el ascenso también es posible con niños (al menos una parte).

Start near Holyrood Palace. The path goes from opposite the car park next to Queen’s Drive. Just walk around Holyrood Palace walls to get there.

Buen día Fanny, en la base de hay un parque con un pequeño lugar para estacionar. De todos modos la ciudad es muy amigable para moverse a pie o en transporte público. Saludos C

Yup. All still open!

Head up the well marked trail just beside Hollyrood Palace.

The wind at the top is always pretty rough. 11 mph is the surface wind, so always add at least 10 more mph to get the summit wind speed

It rained a fair bit when I hiked up. and between the cloud bursts and wind it was still a great walk. the views varied on the way up and down. we chose go go one way up and another back down and enjoyed them both despite the weather.

The smooth path ends fairly early on for a gravel and dirt path so I don’t think it’s advised.
