English is the primary language spoken in Edinburgh. You may also hear Scottish Gaelic and Scots, which are recognized minority languages, though English is universally understood.
The United Kingdom uses the British pound sterling (GBP) as its official currency. Most places accept contactless payments and credit cards, though some smaller venues may prefer cash.
The best time to visit Edinburgh is from late spring to early autumn (May to September). August is particularly popular due to the Edinburgh Festival, though it's also the busiest time.
The most popular day trips from Edinburgh include visiting Glasgow, exploring Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, and discovering Rosslyn Chapel and Blair Castle.
Edinburgh is generally very safe for visitors. It has low crime rates and a strong police presence. As with any city, use common sense and be aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
Pack layers as Scottish weather can be unpredictable. Bring waterproof clothing, comfortable walking shoes, warm clothing even in summer, and an umbrella. The weather can change quickly throughout the day.
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is located about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city center. It's Scotland's busiest airport and provides excellent connections to domestic and international destinations.
Key cultural sites include Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Palace of Holyroodhouse, St. Giles' Cathedral, and the Scott Monument. The entire Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
