A little planning, a better day

Start with the place you most want to visit in Edinburgh, then check its official visitor information for arrival options. Choose parking around your actual itinerary and allow time for the walk or onward journey.

Before you leave the car

Read the signs at the exact bay, confirm your vehicle registration and location code, and keep the parking confirmation. A planned journey or a payment attempt does not establish parking permission.

Explore at your pace

Leave room between your main stops. Check accessibility, opening times and travel information directly with the places you plan to visit.
