These three places in Edinburgh are among the most popular destinations where our coaches for hire have safely, comfortably, and punctually brought hundreds of passengers over the years.
As one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions, Edinburgh Castle features in many Edinburgh itineraries. Here, you can admire the Honours of Scotland (the Scottish Crown Jewels) in the Royal Palace, visit the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum, and hear the famous One O’Clock Gun (the cannon fire continues the tradition of helping ships synchronise their clocks). The castle was also home to the Stone of Destiny (also called the Stone of Scone), taken by Edward I in 1296 and returned to Scotland 700 years later; in 2024 the Stone moved to the new Perth Museum. Tip: book your castle tickets online in advance to avoid queuing at one of Britain’s most visited attractions.
The Royal Mile is a series of streets connecting Edinburgh Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, lined with lovely churches, townhouses, historic landmarks, shops, museums, restaurants, and cafés. Many of its tall historic tenement buildings, known locally as “lands”, are surrounded by narrow alleys known as “closes” and “wynds”. Many famous sites are at the upper end, called Castlehill, including the Outlook Tower with its Camera Obscura, and The Hub (the former Highland Tolbooth St John’s Church), among many others.
Established in 1913 and set on 82 acres of land, Edinburgh Zoo is a popular destination for groups with kiddos (or ‘bairns’ in Scotland). It was the first zoo in the world to breed penguins, and is home to a troop of chimpanzees, wallabies, and many other creatures. There are special events and opportunities to get closer to the animals, such as keeper experiences, which let people see behind the scenes of the daily care given to the animals.
