The real luxury of our apartment is its location, seconds away from the vibrant Leith Walk, but on a quiet road with no traffic noise. Walking distance to the City Centres famous sights and festival venues. Edinburgh is not a large city - and the central location of our apartment, just off Leith Walk, means that if you wish you can walk everywhere. /Cars + Parking There is free parking directly outside our apartment - however, there are no allocated spaces. This means that during the evening a space right outside can be hard to find. However, you should be able to find a space on a nearby street fairly easily. Central Edinburgh has limited parking and strict restrictions in place. In the City Centre the vast majority of parking is pay and display – always check the instructions on the meter and carry plenty of coins with you or register with RingGo and pay via a payment card. /Walking Walking times depend on how much of a contemplative soul you are, but as guidance a brisk walk from our flat to Waverley Station, the main train station, can take you as little as 20 minutes and the Royal Botanic Gardens can be reached in 25 minutes. Bus/ Edinburgh also has a fantastic bus service and the flat is well placed, with numerous bus services running 24/7 up and down Leith Walk and Easter Road both within a minute walk of our apartment. Single fares cost £1.70 (no change given) but if you’re using the bus on more than two journeys then a Day ticket or a Day & night ticket may be more suitable. It’s also possible to buy a one-week or four-week bus pass (ridacard) For more information on routes and timetables go to Transport for Edinburgh's website or download The Transport for Edinburgh smartphone travel app which has lots of information to help you plan your journey. /Uber Most the locals tend to use Uber as their go to taxi service around the city. It works out a lot cheaper than a normal taxi. /Cycling Edinburgh has plenty of cyclists, so if you’re thinking of bringing your bike along you will be in good company. But remember the city is quite hilly! You could store a (clean) bike in the hallway of our apartment. /Trams There is also a tram line running directly from the top of Leith Walk (York Place) to and from Edinburgh Airport. There are various ticketing options which work across both tram and bus. Timetable information can be found at Transport for Edinburgh's website, and also on the the Transport for Edinburgh smartphone travel app. /Taxis There are a variety of taxi ranks dotted around central Edinburgh. Look for the unmistakable black cabs: an orange light on top means the taxi is available for hire. /Rickshaws Edinburgh at peak times wouldn’t be Edinburgh without the athletic rickshaw drivers who cycle around the city. It’s one of those unmissable experiences but remember to always agree the price of your fare in advance.
