Visit Edinburgh

a super city to visit but like London it has become very expensive over the years.. the zoo is no longer the place to go visit the 5 sisters zoo in west Calder is the place to go a cracking good day out. Do the castle once and leave it £34.00 a head is just pushing it. parking is a nightmare castle place carpark near the floral gardens and clock £29.95 for 4 hours.........

Beautiful, elegant city. This was my first visit for a conference so I didn't have much chance to explore. I will definitely be returning, there is so much to see. Public transport is very convenient, regular buses, trains and trams. Visited the zoo and Botanic gardens, both are awesome.

Didn't get to see enough of the sights. Would have loved to have stayed longer to visit more of the neighborhoods, and not just the main tourist attractions. The Royal Mile was still teeming with tourists, even in September. Transit was excellent (bus drivers were very helpful) and the tram was a no-brainer as a tourist visiting the main attractions such as Brittannia. Would avoid Grass Market; tourist trap. If you can, buy tickets at the Traverse Theatre for a play, pie and a pint. We didn't jump on this option during our time in Edinburgh, and we regret not seeing a 55 minute play for £17.50, with the abovementioned perks. Surprisingly, the Red Cafe at Edinburgh Castle was one of the more reasonably-priced eateries for an afternoon bite. Sit at the back of the cafe, where there are more tables, and a great view of the city. The scones were very tasty, even though the charge for the cream was exorbitant and not even close to the taste of real clotted cream.

Fantastic city with so much to do!! We crammed in so much in our few days but would love to have had longer. Hop on hop off buses were a godsend, as Edinburgh is very hilly. The castle tour was really good, informative and fun!

Edinburgh was a beautiful city, lots of historical content, friendly helpful people anywhere we visited, good value for money. A lot of options for to suit anyone visiting. The bus and tram service was excellent. There was a great choice of cuisine to be had at any level. Downside was there was a lot of building sites in the new town side. But overall I think Edinburgh is underrated, it's a definitely somewhere not to miss out on....

Although we stayed in Edinburgh sadly we did not get to see much of it, hence why I would like to come back. As we only stayed from Monday-Friday, we wanted to see as much as possible so pre booked 3 coach tours for our 3 days which were great. We went to Glencoe, Glenfinnan, Loch Ness ( where we went on a boat trip ), scottish highlands, Stirling Castle, Kelpies. The views of scotland are breath-taking, so beautiful. The people were very friendly and helpful. Although we did not visit Edinburgh Castle we walked up past it every day to get our coach. We also walked down the Royal Mile and had a scottish breakfast. The weather was great. Its a great place for walking, eating, shopping and visiting the sites. Will definately be returning.
