Location information for Edinburgh
The capital of Scotland sits in the central region of the country, known locally as the Central Belt. Edinburgh is home to hundreds of entertaining sites, from modern department stores to medieval structures and ancient landmarks. Getting around this huge metropolis can be most conveniently accomplished by car, but it pays to compare car hire options before arrival to secure the best rates.
Transport
[transport]Edinburgh International Airport is the primary gateway for international travellers to the city and Scotland in general. Waverly Railway Station accommodates many thousands of visitors each day too. Use public transport for travelling within the bustling city centre, and consider car hire in Edinburgh for sightseeing the outer layers of this magnificent city.
Car Hire Edinburgh
Despite the difficulty with inner city driving in Edinburgh, the outskirts of the capital are simply stunning. Exploring places like Fife and East Lothian is more convenient with a car rental in Edinburgh. Roads are easy to navigate, and renting vehicles is surprisingly inexpensive. Big names like Thrift, Condor, Enterprise and Hertz provide a range of popular car models for visitors in Edinburgh.
Driving
Driving in the city centre is definitely not recommended. Parking is rare and public transportation is abundant. However, half-day trips and full-day excursions outside Edinburgh require private transportation. The roads are safe and traffic is quite favourable on most occasions.
Things To See and Do
East Lothian is east of Edinburgh and boasts plenty of attractions such as Gullane's magnificent golf courses, Dunbar's harbour and East Fortune's Museum of Flight. Just 40 minutes north of Edinburgh is Aberdour's beautiful castle and its pristine Blue Flag beach, while St. Andrew's and its golfing heritage stands 40kms to the northeast.
Best Time To Visit
May through August is the warmest period of the year, averaging about 18°C. Sunshine is most prevalent during these months, making it more suitable for tourism. Maximum winter temperatures tend to stay below 8°C, and December to February is renowned for its dreary weather and should be avoided. The Edinburgh Festival is held between July and September, and is reason enough to schedule a trip even though crowds are dense.
