Edinburgh travel tips
Don’t call a taxi by phone — that will cost you extra money in Edinburgh
If you need a classic taxi, you can find one at a taxi stop, hail it on the street, or order by phone. In the latter case, that will cost you 0.5-0.8 pounds (0.6-1 euro) more. Keep that in mind, especially if you are offered to call a taxi from a hotel or bar — you will have to pay extra in that case.
Don't miss out on one of the best bars in the world in Edinburgh
Bramble is a cocktail bar that is included in the lists of the best bars in the world. The average price per cocktail is 8 euro. You can simply tell the bartender what you like, and they will prepare a signature cocktail for you. The bar is open only until 00:00 approximately.
