"On a budget" Miscellaneous Tip by Dabs

Miscellaneous, Edinburgh: 34 reviews and 17 photos

Favorite thing: For US travelers, Edinburgh is an expensive city but you can get by with virtually no transportation cost except the rather inexpensive airport bus (currently L5 round trip), all of the major museums have free admission, St. Giles and Parliament are both free to enter. Walking to the top of Calton Hill or Arthur's Seat won't cost you a dime (and will help you work off some of that full Scottish breakfast)

Hotels-Ibis has a hotel right near the Royal Mile and if you are really low on funds there is a youth hostel. Or you can try laterooms.com to see what kind of reduced rates are out there.

Food-lots of inexpensive options, pub fare, kebabs, fish and chips, all can be had for under L10

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
