Getting around in Edinburgh

Travel in Edinburgh is very easy. Buses are cheap - a day ticket will cost you £3.00, which gives you unlimited travel, and most important city destinations can be reached without having to change buses. Several companies also operate guided bus tours of the city that can take you to the most visited tourist spots with a commentary in most major world languages - from Japanese to Italian.
