Whether you are thinking about day trips, weekends away or minibreaks, Edinburgh is a perfect option. The capital of Scotland has so much to offer and do, the sights are spectacular and the hillside is incredibly inviting. Added to this, Edinburgh has a wide variety of top attractions and activities that are ideal for families, couples, singles, the elderly… pretty much anyone.

If you are considering visiting Edinburgh, you should familiarise yourself with not only the journey there, but also the area itself. Learn where all the main attractions are, the location of where your accommodation there is and start thinking about how you are going to get yourself around Edinburgh once you’re there.

Top Attractions in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a variety of things to do and see. Here are just some of the magical places you can visit in Scotland’s capital city.

  • Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. Founded in 1835 this is a tower of fun. The first five floors are crammed with puzzles, interactive exhibits and optical illusions, while the top floor shows a real-time view of the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
  • National Museum of Scotland. Two buildings, a Victorian building and a modern one, this museum houses more than 20,000 artifacts that includes natural history, art, fashion, science, and archaeology.
  • Loch Lomond. The largest surface area of any of Scotland’s lakes, Loch Lomond straddles both the Scottish Highlands and the Lowlands.
  • Edinburgh Dungeon. Under the streets of Edinburgh, visit the dungeons, see the 360 degree sets and costumed actors and watch as the gruesome tales of Scotland’s past are retold.
  • The Royal Mile.

 

  • One of the things Edinburgh has in abundance is castles. Some of the castles you just have to visit during your time in Edinburgh include:

    • Edinburgh Castle. Built over 1000 years ago, Edinburgh castle has cobbled promenades, fortress walls and winding stone steps. Now a museum, the castle houses royal exhibits, period artifacts like the Scottish Crown Jewels, and if all that wasn’t enough, it also has spooky, dark dungeons.
    • Alnwick Castle. Built in the 11th century as a Norman defence, the castle has expanded over the years so that it now includes medieval, Gothic, and neoclassical elements. Alnwick Castle is approximately 85 miles from Edinburgh, so it its not exactly within walking distance but this distance won’t matter if you use a minibus hire with a driver.
    • Stirling Castle. A Scottish fortress built on volcanic rock, which has witness the coronation of the infant Mary Queen of Scots and even the premier of the movie “Braveheart”.
    • Iona Abbey
    • Rosslyn Chapel. As seen in Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code”.

Getting to Edinburgh: Travel in Comfort

When it comes to getting to Edinburgh, you want to travel in comfort and style. Yes, you could drive there in a car, or you could take public transport such as a train or a coach, but why do that when you have the option of a minibus hire with a driver. There are lots of benefits to being chauffeured to Edinburgh in a minibus. The biggest is that you have a larger vehicle at your disposal, so you don’t have to worry about running out of space for your luggage, or having enough space for all your guests. The second advantage it that everyone gets to enjoy the journey, you can play games and have fun together, there’s no need for one of you to miss out because you’ve been named driver. Another advantage is you don’t need to worry about checking for road works or looking for problems with traffic, and you don’t need to find an alternative route for if your main one is blocked. Your driver will do all of this for you, making your journey easy and stress free.

There are lots of benefits to hiring a minibus and driver to get you around Edinburgh. First and foremost, it takes away the driving responsibilities. Visiting Edinburgh should be as much fun as possible, for everyone in your group, which is why you need an actual driver instead of appointing one or two members of your group as a designated driver and forcing that kind of responsibility onto them. Secondly, an actual driver will have a better knowledge of the roads and the routes, they’ll know which routes get busy and when and they’ll also know alternative routes that you can take in the event of any accidents or problems on the road. Finally, it will save you time and potentially even money too. You won’t have to do things like find a parking space or pay parking fees.
