Discover Edinburgh on this hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus tour. In a typical red, double-decker vehicle, you'll have a multilingual audio guide and live commentary on board to learn more about the different attractions you'll pass. Take the opportunity to hop on and off at your leisure, and plot your own route around the Scottish capital.

With these tickets, which are valid for 24 hours, you can take the Red Route, which has a total of 12 stops and at least 26 points of interest to consider on your journey.

Some of the stops on the Red Route are:

  • Grassmarket: get off here to see Edinburgh's local market and mingle with the Scottish population.
  • John Knox House: at this stop you will be right in front of this historic house which is believed to have been owned and lived in by the Protestant reformer John Knox in the 16th century.
  • Johnston Terrace: this is one of the highlights of the tour as you will see Edinburgh Castle in all its splendour.
  • Canongate: if you choose to get off at this stop, you will see the impressive Holyrood Palace. This palace was the Queen's residence when she was in Scotland.

Relax and get your camera ready to take photos and selfies as souvenirs. Plus, with these tickets, you'll get discounts on a range of local attractions.

Please note that the total journey takes around 60 minutes and the bus usually runs every 30 minutes. Also, if you have bought the tickets and have not used them, they are valid for twelve months.

    A good alternative for getting to the most important points of interest in the city and being able to visit them one by one. Although I'm not a big fan of bus tours, I have to admit that this time they were worth it.
