🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Magical Edinburgh: Post-Trip Tips (No Regrets!)

Edinburgh casts a spell—you’ll want to stay forever. Gothic spires, affordable seafood, and safe streets (even at night!). I changed my train tickets twice… the withdrawal is real! 🚆 Transport 1️⃣ London → Edinburgh: Train > flight (scenic views + WiFi!). Book 1 week early for deals. My cost: £2100 round-trip for 2 (last-minute). Changed dates (+£100 fee). 2️⃣ Window Seats: After 3 hours: Newcastle views. Final 45 mins: Bridges + sea! 🐄 Sheep & cottages en route. 3️⃣ Getting Around: Walk! Everything’s close. Taxis: £7-10 citywide (but slow—we never used them). Buses: No Oyster cards! £5/day (avoid train add-on bus tickets—drivers won’t accept). 🍽️ Food Recs 🦪 Mussel Inn Seafood: Fresh platters + bread-dipping heaven. 🍗 Train Station Café: £3.5 wings + £1.7 refillable coffee with castle views! 🌮 Elephant House: Best nachos ever (sorry, Mexico!). 🚫 Skip: Overhyped Gourmet—mediocre Scotch eggs. Haggis? Try once. 🏨 Stay Smart New Town = best location. Budget: ~£180/night (bring slippers/toiletries!). #EdinburghMagic #UKTravel #HarryPotterSpots #TravelTips
