Edinburgh travel tips
Two bus lines run through Edinburgh and the surrounding areas
Lothian Buses run around the city centre, while First Edinburgh buses run around the surrounding countryside and villages near the city. One can find route schedules at each stop; the main thing is not to mix up the line and not go far to the Scottish countryside. By the way, unlike city buses, First Edinburgh’s drivers give a change to tourists.
Nightlife in Edinburgh is quite active, but the bars are open until about 01:00
Going to a bar or pub in the evening is the main entertainment in Edinburgh. Still, most of them close at 01:00, and new guests are not let in in about an hour. All drinking venues in Edinburgh can be divided into two categories: those around George/Queen Street (cocktail bars with a relaxed atmosphere) and Grassmarket (pubs, student bars, etc.).
Check out the works of Warhol and Picasso at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Arts in Edinburgh
Admission to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Arts is free. The museum houses a collection of works in the style of Cubism and Impressionism. Here you can see many works by Matisse, Picasso, Warhol, and others. There is a sculpture park next to the museum, which will also be interesting to explore.
