Edinburgh’s Secret Elegance: Unearthing the City’s Veiled Charms in a Day

  • May 28, 2024

We believe that everyone knows (yes, all 8 billion people) that Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries thanks to its dramatic and rugged natural landscapes. Its capital city, Edinburgh, adds an urban sophistication that achieves the unthinkable; to make the country feel even more magical. And we even bet that you’ve thought of travelling there many times. This is your sign to actually do it. We’ve gathered some tips and attractions that prove Edinburgh’s secret elegance. Are you ready to discover them? 

Parking at Edinburgh Airport

You don’t have to worry about your car at all when it is in the capable hands of the car park businesses at Edinburgh Airport. Furthermore, booking your ideal parking service at Edinburgh Airport through bookfhr.com eliminates any concerns about the cost of leaving your car at the airport. The website allows you to compare deals effortlessly, as all the information that you need is given in a clear and concise manner. From budget-friendly to premium offers for short, mid, and long stays, you are certain that you’ll find and secure the airport parking service of your dreams. 

Exploring the Edinburgh Airport area

Various means of transport come and go, bringing travellers back and forth. There is a tram that operates every 10 minutes and connects the airport with Edinburgh city centre. An equally convenient and affordable option are buses, which take passengers from the airport to the city centre or to other nearby areas and vice versa. If you are looking for a more flexible mode of transport, you can book a car hire or a private transfer. The only requirement is that bookings must be made in advance. Lastly, you can always take a taxi from the airport and go wherever you like. 

Edinburgh’s Secret Elegance

We’re certain that you have already read many articles about the best attractions in Edinburgh. Here, however, you’ll discover hidden gems that reveal Edinburgh’s secret elegance. 

Scottish Storytelling Centre: Edinburgh’s cultural scene is very rich, and the perfect place to discover that for yourself is the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Besides the excellent performances, the centre keeps Scotland’s storytelling tradition alive. 

West Bow: Edinburgh is brimming with historic buildings. However, there is a street that retains this vibe but doesn’t get much attention. West Bow is a street lined with 19th-century buildings, quaint shops and cafes. 

Dr. Neil’s Garden: Are you looking for a green and quiet place? If so, you should head straight to Dr. Neil’s Garden, a botanic garden with sculptures, stunning views of Arthur’s Seat, and almost no tourists. 

Only by visiting the city will you understand Edinburgh’s secret elegance. You can easily do so by opening a tab with the Edinburgh Airport website and making all the necessary bookings for travelling to the Scottish capital as soon as possible.
