Edinburgh is not a large city - and the central location of our apartment, means that if you wish you can walk everywhere. /Walking Walking times depend on how much of a contemplative soul you are, but as guidance a walk from our flat to Waverley Station, the main train station, can take you as little as 15 minutes and The Royal Mile is only 5 minutes away. The beautiful and iconic Holyrood Park, where Arthur's Seat is located, is literally seconds away! Bus/ Edinburgh also has fantastic bus service and the flat is well placed, with numerous bus services running from within a couple of minutes walk of our apartment. Single fares cost £1.70 (no change given) but if you’re using the bus on more than two journeys then a Day ticket or a Day & night ticket may be more suitable. It’s also possible to buy a one-week or four-week bus pass (ridacard) For more information on routes and timetables go to Transport for Edinburgh or download The Transport for Edinburgh smartphone travel app which has lots of information to help you plan your journey. /Uber Most the locals, myself included, tend to use Uber as their go to taxi service around the city. It works out much cheaper than a black cab style of taxi. /Trams There is also a tram line running directly from the centre to and from Edinburgh Airport. There are various ticketing options which work across both tram and bus. Timetable information can be found at Transport for Edinburgh, and also on the the Transport for Edinburgh smartphone travel app. /Taxis There are a variety of taxi ranks dotted around central Edinburgh. Look for the unmistakable black cabs: an orange light on top means the taxi is available for hire. /Rickshaws Edinburgh at peak times wouldn’t be Edinburgh without the athletic rickshaw drivers who cycle around the city. It’s one of those unmissable experiences but remember to always agree the price of your fare in advance. /Cars If you are bringing your own car please beware that although parking outside the apartment is free, Edinburgh has limited parking and strict restrictions in place. In the city centre the vast majority of parking is pay and display – always check the instructions on the meter and carry plenty of coins with you or register with RingGo and pay via a payment card.
