Thanks to the city’s layout, travelling by car in Edinburgh is unnecessary. The City Centre is great for walking while the bus transport infrastructure will take you anywhere in the city. The buses are comfortable and very frequent.
Taxis in Edinburgh are quite expensive, especially on public holidays like Christmas and Hogmanay. The cost of bus travel in Edinburgh is very good value and so is that of coach travel to other places in Scotland.
Travelling by train to and from Edinburgh can be more expensive. but mainly because of the large variety of fares available which can make choosing the cheapest ticket confusing.
The train and bus stations are located right in the heart of Edinburgh. It’s a matter of stepping out and jumping on the bus to go to your accommodation. The express airport shuttle also drops you off in the City Centre, right next to the train station.
