Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Buses are the best way to get around
Our Lothians bus system is one of the best in Europe, it is relatively cheap to use and you can just use your bank card. Parking can be a difficulty and an expense in the centre, so buses take away that stress.
Costumbres y cultura
Tipping is the norm
In Scotland tipping is common place. Usually 10%.
Qué empacar
Scottish weather is crazy!
You've probably heard that weather in Scotland is cold and rainy but thats not the full story. Scottish weather is all over the place, one minute it's raining and snowing, the next it is sunny and warm. Bring lots of layers and prepare for anything!

Free spots
There are many free sites in Edinburgh, the Museum, galleries and Botanics. You can have a free day if you do lots of walking and head to spots like these. Or get the bus which can be cheap. Lothian buses do day tickets and family discounts too!
