Description
Visit the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, Edinburgh's oldest attraction, for a uniquely entertaining experience. The magical 1850s Camera Obscura - darkened room - captures a live moving picture of the city. Have fun 'spying' on passers-by, or picking up cars and buses in the palm of a hand! The guide explains all, telling Edinburgh's story with humour and enthusiasm. Visitors will also be amazed at the 3-D hologram display, the largest in Europe, plus 'Old Edinburgh' and pinhole photographs. Enjoy superb 360-degree views from the rooftop terrace.
