Traveler advice

An incredible museum, unmissable spot, right on chamber street. just a few minutes walk away, and free entrance.
Ways to save

Hidden pubs around

there's plenty of hidden pubs offering quality (pub) food, for lunch and dinner. the ones on the main streets are usually not the best value places and are generally packed. Explore and find some less easy to spot, yet not far from George the IV Bridge, places to eat! hint: Around the cow gate and on it's way to it. tiny alleys near the royal mile. towards the bottom of the royal mile before reaching the scottish parliament.
Getting around

Buses don't have change

keep spare 1 pound and 10 penny coins. bus drivers don't give change.
Getting around

can hail or call a taxi

if you need a taxi, just hail at them on the street. but there is the city cab hub and also several private hire companies in town too. Browser search for: Black Cab Edinburgh, and give them a call if you need to book a ride
