Prepare your travel documents for Edinburgh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The documentation required for travel to the UK depends on the traveller&#8217;s country of origin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>European Union, Commonwealth and other exceptions*<\/strong>: from these countries you can only travel with your passport. Remember that your passport must not be out of date, otherwise you will not be able to board the plane. It is also recommended that you take out travel insurance, as the European Health Insurance Card does not provide full cover. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other countries<\/strong>: For all other countries, you must apply for a tourist visa through your country&#8217;s embassy or online. This is valid for 180 days and must be applied for at least 3 months in advance. It costs \u00a3115. The application process includes completing an online application form, submitting specific documents such as a valid passport, financial proof, accommodation or a letter of invitation, travel itinerary and travel insurance. If the traveller is staying in the country for more than 6 months, they must make an appointment at the embassy to have their biometric data collected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you leave, we also recommend that you check whether your driving licence is valid in the UK if you want to hire a car. EU licences are, but in many other countries you will need to apply for an international driving licence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We always like to <strong>carry a copy of the documentation<\/strong> on our trips in case we lose the original or there is a problem. The good thing about travelling with Passporter is that you can carry your documents with you and always have them to hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*These countries are also exempt from visa requirements: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, United States, and Uruguay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

During these months, the city enjoys warmer weather and longer days, allowing you to spend more time outdoors. This is also when the <strong>Edinburgh International Festival<\/strong> and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival take place, two of the country&#8217;s biggest cultural events, filling the city with theatre, music, dance and comedy. However, be aware that <strong>during these months prices are higher and you&#8217;ll find crowds<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re looking for a quieter experience, autumn and spring are good alternatives <\/strong>&#8211; it&#8217;s less crowded, prices are more affordable and you&#8217;ll still be able to see the city&#8217;s main sights. You&#8217;ll just need to wrap up a bit warmer and keep an umbrella handy. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"32308\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/england\/plan-trip-edinburgh\/attachment\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-edinburgh\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"best time for a trip to Edinburgh\" class=\"wp-image-32308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/best-time-for-a-trip-to-Edinburgh.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-find-out-how-to-get-to-edinburgh\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Find-out-how-to-get-to-Edinburgh\"><\/span>3. Find out how to get to Edinburgh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to Edinburgh is easy, whether you&#8217;re travelling by land or air. However, before you choose one option or the other, bear in mind that Edinburgh is very far north, and if it takes almost 3 hours to get there by plane from Spain, imagine driving there by car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Car:<\/strong> Driving to Edinburgh is easy, with direct access from the M8 from Glasgow, the A1 from the south of England, and the A90 from the north. This is a worthwhile option if you&#8217;re touring Scotland, but not if you&#8217;re not going out of town. You can park in public car parks (for a fee). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Train:<\/strong> Edinburgh&#8217;s Waverley station is a major arrival point with services such as LNER from London, ScotRail within Scotland, and CrossCountry connecting to various UK cities. If you&#8217;re in London, you can travel by train to the city, which takes about 5 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bus:<\/strong> National Express and Megabus offer budget routes from cities across the UK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flight:<\/strong> Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is served by airlines such as British Airways, Ryanair, and EasyJet, which connect to European and some international destinations. Tickets are not particularly expensive, especially if you search in advance. On the Passporter App you can compare and book your tickets via Skyscanner. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From Edinburgh Airport to the city centre, you have a number of options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tram (tram):<\/strong> connects the airport to the centre in approximately 35 minutes. It costs \u00a37.5. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bus:<\/strong> The Airlink 100 is an express service that arrives at Waverley Bridge in about 30 minutes. The fare is \u00a34.5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taxi<\/strong>: this is the fastest and most comfortable option. The price ranges from \u00a325 to \u00a330.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As for public transport in Edinburgh, the city has an efficient network of buses and trams. The fare is \u00a31.8. However, you&#8217;ll find that the city centre isn&#8217;t that big, and the tourist attractions are close enough to walk to. There&#8217;s also a bike hire service available for those who prefer to explore on two wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

Find accommodation that meets your expectations for enjoying Edinburgh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edinburgh offers a range of accommodation options to suit all tastes and budgets.<\/strong> However, the Scottish capital is also a fairly touristy city, which means that if you want to secure the best place at the best price, you&#8217;ll need to shop around beforehand. We also encourage you to read reviews and consider staying in a flat if you&#8217;re travelling in a group, as they tend to be cheaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want to simplify your search for the ideal accommodation, we encourage you to do it through the free Passporter App, where, via Booking, you can compare, book and carry all the information about your accommodation at your fingertips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the <strong>best areas to stay<\/strong>, so you know where to start looking: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Old Town:<\/strong> is Edinburgh&#8217;s historic centre. Here you&#8217;ll be surrounded by all the main sights, but expect accommodation to be expensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New Town:<\/strong> This elegant neighbourhood offers a different experience with its impressive Georgian buildings. You&#8217;ll find more moderate prices than in the centre. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leith:<\/strong> Once a bustling port, Leith is now a vibrant cultural and gastronomic centre where you can stay at a moderate price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stockbridge:<\/strong> With a small-town feel within the city, it&#8217;s perfect for those looking for peace and quiet without being far from the centre at a moderate price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>West End:<\/strong> ideal for those who want a quiet stay with easy access to attractions and shops. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"32304\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/england\/plan-trip-edinburgh\/attachment\/accommodation-in-edinburgh\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?fit=1024%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"accommodation-in-Edinburgh\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?fit=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?fit=1024%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?resize=1024%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"accommodation in Edinburgh\" class=\"wp-image-32304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?resize=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/accommodation-in-Edinburgh.jpeg?resize=768%2C480&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-choose-the-activities-you-want-to-do-in-edinburgh\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Choose-the-activities-you-want-to-do-in-Edinburgh\"><\/span>5.

Where and what to eat in Edinburgh?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Edinburgh&#8217;s cuisine embodies the essence of Scotland, with hearty, flavoursome dishes using local ingredients such as <strong>salmon, beef and game, seafood, oats and root vegetables.<\/strong> Traditional Scottish cuisine is known for its simplicity but also for its delicious combinations, offering culinary experiences ranging from ancient recipes to modern interpretations of classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the most typical dishes that we enjoyed the most:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Haggis<\/strong>: this is an emblem of Scottish cuisine. It&#8217;s lamb offal served with &#8216;neeps and tatties&#8217;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scottish Salmon<\/strong>: salmon prepared in a variety of ways, fresh and smoked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cullen Skink<\/strong>: thick fish, potato and onion soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scotch Pie<\/strong>: minced lamb or beef pie, encased in shortcrust pastry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cranachan<\/strong>: dessert of fresh raspberries, whipped cream, honey, whisky and toasted oats.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whisky is Scotland&#8217;s most popular drink<\/strong>, a beverage that&#8217;s distilled in every town in the region, and Edinburgh is no exception. In the city itself you can visit several traditional distilleries and take part in tastings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-organise-a-trip-with-friends-to-edinburgh\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Organise-a-trip-with-friends-to-Edinburgh\"><\/span>7.

Travelling with friends is a pleasure, but there can also be certain conflicts of interest or logistical problems. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to plan your trip well, and that everyone in the group is involved in creating the itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to <strong>organise your trip with friends is through the Passporter App,<\/strong> with which <strong>you can create a common travel route and share your experience through images <\/strong>and comments with other travellers.
