About the city of Edinburgh: Your comprehensive guide

Imagine wandering through cobblestone streets, where history whispers from every corner and a majestic castle stands proudly atop an ancient volcanic rock. This enchanting destination offers a perfect blend of medieval charm and vibrant modern culture. Don't miss the chance to explore its iconic castle, a symbol of resilience and grandeur. And while you're here, indulge in the local cuisine, especially the hearty haggis and delectable shortbread. Your adventure awaits!

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Start your culinary journey with haggis, a traditional Scottish dish made from sheep's offal mixed with oatmeal, onions, and spices, often served with neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes). For seafood lovers, try the fresh Scottish salmon or Cullen skink, a creamy smoked haddock soup. Don't miss out on sampling Scotch pies, filled with minced meat and spices, and the famous black pudding. For a sweet treat, indulge in shortbread, cranachan (a dessert made with raspberries, cream, oats, and whisky), or a slice of Dundee cake. Pair your meals with a dram of whisky from one of the many local distilleries or a pint of locally brewed ale. On each spot of the audio guide, we'll give you the nearest recommended restaurants according to Google's users opinions.

Transportation and getting around the city

When you land at the airport, you can hop on the Airlink 100 bus or the tram to get to the city center quickly and affordably. Once you're in the city, the Lothian Buses and trams are your best friends for getting around. They cover most of the city and are pretty reliable. If you prefer taxis, they're easy to find and can be hailed on the street or booked via apps like Uber. Edinburgh is also a very walkable city, especially around the Old Town and New Town areas, so don't hesitate to explore on foot. For a more relaxed sightseeing experience, the hop-on-hop-off tour buses are a great option, and you can get tickets online or at various stops around the city.

A few practical tips: the local currency is the British Pound, and while cards are widely accepted, it's always good to have some cash on hand for smaller vendors. Also, remember that the UK uses Type G electrical sockets, so bring an adapter if your devices use a different plug type. Enjoy your trip!
