Check dates and availability →Visiting Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a walking city with a flat-fare bus network on top. Lothian Buses charge £2.00 to go anywhere, the tram runs from the airport through the centre to Newhaven, and the Old Town's closes and steep hills matter more to your timing than any timetable.
| In Edinburgh | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Bus fares | Lothian Buses charge a flat £2.00 adult single and £1.10 for a child aged 5 to 15, however far you go, and a ticket covers changes within 90 minutes. Up to three children under 5 travel free with a paying adult |
| Tram fares | A City Zone tram single is £2.40. An Airport single, which is a separate fare zone, is £7.90, so a city ticket will not get you out of the airport |
| Day ticket | A day ticket covering Lothian buses and city-zone trams is £6.00 bought on board, and cheaper in the Bus & Tram app. It does not include the airport tram zone or the Airlink bus |
| Contactless capping | Lothian's TapTapCap applies daily and weekly caps when you tap the same contactless card, from £5.70 a day and £26.50 a week. Paying on board with cash needs the exact fare and gets no cap |
| From the airport | The Airlink 100 express bus is £6.00 and runs 24 hours to Waverley Bridge. The tram is £7.90 and has more luggage room. Ordinary Lothian city buses also serve the airport at the flat £2.00 fare. Day tickets and contactless caps are not valid on Airlink |
| Parking | The Old Town and New Town are controlled parking zones with metered kerbside spaces and short maximum stays, and the streets are narrow. A Park & Ride site on the edge of the city plus a bus or tram in is far easier |
| Hills and closes | The Royal Mile drops steeply to Holyrood and the Old Town is full of stairs and closes. Allow more walking time than a map suggests, and wear shoes with grip on wet cobbles |
| Tipping | Around 10 per cent in restaurants, and check whether a service charge is already on the bill. No tip is expected at a pub bar, and taxi fares are usually rounded up |
| Currency | Pound sterling. Scottish banknotes circulate alongside Bank of England notes and are worth the same, though shops in England may be unfamiliar with them |

Most central Edinburgh activity meeting points are a short walk from the Royal Mile or Princes Street, and Lothian Buses reach the rest for a flat £2.00 a journey. The tram runs along Princes Street from the airport to Newhaven. Check the exact meeting point on your Castle: Guided Tour with Tickets Included booking confirmation, because Old Town addresses are often down a close.
Walking, then the bus. Lothian Buses charge a flat £2.00 adult single to go anywhere in the city, with changes allowed within 90 minutes. If you will make more than three journeys in a day, a £6.00 day ticket covering buses and city-zone trams costs less, and tapping the same contactless card caps you at £5.70 a day and £26.50 a week.
Three ways. The Airlink 100 express bus is £6.00 and runs 24 hours to Waverley Bridge in about 30 minutes. The tram is £7.90 as an Airport single and has more luggage space. Ordinary Lothian city buses also serve the airport at the standard flat £2.00 fare, which is the cheapest of the three. Note that day tickets and contactless caps do not work on Airlink.
Not easily near the Old Town. The Old Town and New Town are controlled parking zones with metered spaces, short maximum stays and narrow streets, so most visitors use a Park & Ride site on the edge of the city and travel in by bus or tram. ActivityRoam has not checked parking at this activity's own meeting point, so allow extra time if you drive.
Tipping in Edinburgh is modest. Around 10 per cent in a restaurant is normal, and you should check whether a service charge has already been added to the bill. No tip is expected when you order at the bar in a pub, and taxi fares are usually rounded up to the nearest pound.
More than a map suggests. The Royal Mile runs downhill from the Castle to Holyrood and the Old Town is threaded with stairs and steep closes, so allow extra time between a booking like Castle: Guided Tour with Tickets Included and whatever you have planned next. Cobbles get slippery in the rain, so wear shoes with grip.
