Sightseeing
Love this - not many people know you can pay to go up the inside of one of the legs. A crazy spiral stair case where you squeeze passed people. Fantastic view. Fully recommend.

A must hike up. Only about 30 mins walk from my place and then about 30 mins to the top. Great views and likely great amounts of wind!

Search for this and you'll find the closest entrance to my place about a 15 to 20 minute walk away. Then you can walk it down to Stockbridge, or all the way down to Leith. Well worth it.

Consejos para la ciudad
Costumbres y cultura
Edinburgh is a safe city
I sometimes forget that some people have come from places where it maybe isn't so safe to walk around at night. Edinburgh is not like that. In all my time here, I've never seen anything bad happen. People are really chilled out and it's safe to walk around at night without worry.
Cómo moverse
Buses are great here
Buses are super frequent and on the main buses (lothian) you can pay with your credit card (if you have contactless). Otherwise, you'll need the exact change. One way is around £1.60 and a day ticket for as much travel as you want is around £4.00
