Location information for Edinburgh

Edinburgh is the second most visited city in the UK, receiving more than one million overseas visitors each year. The city is steeped in history and culture, and the thriving arts scene is renowned throughout the world. Visitors arriving in the city usually find cheap car hire in Edinburgh is the most practical way to travel.

The magnificent Edinburgh Castle overlooks the city, its cannons pointed towards the main shopping area. Tours of the castle are available and there is adequate car parking for car rental visitors. The cobbled streets leading to the castle are known as the Old Town and have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Edinburgh Festival is a vibrant affair, attracting artists and visitors from across the globe. Comedians, dancers, musicians and poets congregate in the city to participate in the annual event. Cheap car hire in Edinburgh means you can escape the long queues for public transport and enjoy the comfort of your own vehicle.

There are oodles of sights to explore in Edinburgh, but the Museum of Childhood and Murrayfield Stadium should not be missed. Shoppers can enjoy a world class shopping experience on Princes Street, which is the city's main thoroughfare. Budget car rental visitors can enjoy touring this magical city in style.

If you have arranged car hire in Edinburgh, you have the freedom to visit out-of -town attractions without relying on public transport. The Royal Yacht Britannia, docked in the Port of Leith, is definitely worth a visit. Budget car rental visitors can stray off the beaten path and experience areas of the city that the arranged trips omit.
