Edinburgh on a budget; Sightseeing Bus Tours, Scottish Parliment & Princes St Gardens.

Edinburgh is a popular visitor destination but you don’t have to spend a fortune to check out the sights in this capital city. Here’s a few handy tips to get you started;

Sightseeing bus tours: instead of forking out for open topped sightseeing buses that will put you back £12 adult ticket, check out an all day ticket on the local buses for just £3.  Lothian buses cover the city attractions and are just as convenient at a fraction of the price!

Scottish Parliment: offers free entry as well as free guided tours around the Parliment.  These tours provide access to many private areas including the main debating chamber as well as offering a wealth of information around its construction.

Princes Street Gardens: adjacent to Princes Street are the beautifully kept gardens that allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city.  Enjoy a picnic in the park, (M & S  is centrally located within Princes Street), or the play park that will keep the kids amused for an hour.
