Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower in the off-season (November to March, excluding Christmas and New Year). Booking in advance is recommended, especially during the Edinburgh Festival in August. Look for deals that include breakfast, as eating out can be expensive.

Food to try

Try traditional Scottish dishes like haggis, a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck. Enjoy fresh seafood at restaurants in Leith. Sample Scotch whisky at a traditional pub.

Getting around

Edinburgh has a good bus network. Black cabs are readily available, and app-based ride services operate here. Walking is a great way to explore the city centre, but be prepared for hills.
