Nice town.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 hoping for the new ferry line directly to scotland.

[@hfranke07]

Awesome video. I have lived in Edinburgh some years ago. And I just love this dirty old town.... one thing you should know if you go there.... bring some good walking shoes or hiking boots. In Edinburgh you always go up a hill or down a hill. You will find muscles in you legs and bag you did not know you have. And bring cloths for all kinds of weather. You can go from sun and 25 C to snow storm and minus 3 C in just one hour.... but Edinburgh is the best. Trust me.

Glad we didn't experience that crazy change in temperature lol!

[@ExpatLifeKorea]

Hello. I find your video very helpful and informative. You see, i am planning a solo trip to Edinburgh this winter break. Where do you recommend to stay in Edinburgh? A specific accomodation where one can easily go around the city. also, I don’t drive. Are the places in the video reachable by public transportation? So sorry for the all the question but thank you in advance.

[@worldwildhearts]

Thanks for watching! And we recommend staying in the old town, it's easier to walk to the highlights. Also, the old town is located on a hill, whereas the new town is down the hill (so you'd have to walk up if you stay in the new town). We stayed at the Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile (we have a link in the description below the video to the hotel). Edinburgh is a very walkable city, so you can get to most places by walking. There's also public transportation, like buses, that can get you around easily. It's very straightforward :)

You absolutely need to buy castle tickets multiple days in advance or buy the Royal bus ticket that gives you access to multiple attractions and can get you a castle ticket even if everything is sold out

[@rhysarthur3378]

Okay, I will commend you my friend for trying haggis in its traditional way with neeps and tatties 😂 usually when people come from other countries they try the battered haggis and say it’s terrible and that’s because tbh even as a Scot I think it is, haggis is way better cooked properly and on its own with neeps and tatties

I am planning to go on a road trip renting on car. Do these places have proper parking spots to go by car or you just walking in the city

definitely easier to just walk around the city! It's small enough that you don't need a car. Parking can be tough (and expensive)
