Hop-on/Hop-off: Places of interest
The capital of Scotland has many sights to offer. Most of them can be reached by hop-on hop-off bus.
Not every sight is directly at the stop. To be on the safe side, allow a few minutes for a short walk.
Is an Edinburgh city tour worth it?
One of the most convenient and informative ways to discover the history and beauty of Edinburgh is on a city tour by hop-on hop-off bus.
You can get on and off at your convenience at numerous stops at the main sights and attractions. This way you can explore the city at your own pace.
Especially for travellers who are in Edinburgh for the first time, the easy orientation and the possibility to get from one place to another comfortably is very practical.
In addition, the hop-on hop-off bus offers shelter from the often changeable Scottish weather. If it's raining or cold, you can sit on the bus and enjoy the view through the large panoramic windows without having to worry about the weather.

All buses are equipped with informative audio commentaries in different languages that provide interesting facts and anecdotes about the various sights of the city. This way you can not only enjoy the splendour of the city, but also better understand its rich history and culture.
For visitors who have limited time in Edinburgh, these buses are an optimal solution to see many sights in a short time.
