Best advice is to drive to outside the city, and get either a train or bus in.
There is a car park, but it is best not to try and drive into Edinburgh city centre. Instead, come in by bus or train.
Train services are provided by
Virgin,
GNER and
First Scotrail whilst bus services are provided by
Lothian and
First.
Important:IMPORTANT all bus services in Edinburgh require you to pay the exact fare, and do not give any change.
Stagecoach Fife provide services from Fife, and these services give change. Consult the relevant operator for fares.
There are many facilities within the station. The toilets are chargable (20p), whilst there is a WH SMith and Boots the Chemist on the concourse. In addition, there are cash machines and banks in the main ticket hall.
Other facilities can be reached on Princes Street, which is next to the station (though a fair hike up the Waverley steps!), or by the ramps onto Waverley Bridge.
There is no shortage of accommodation available -
Visit Scotland can advise. In addition, the tourist office is located near to the Waverley steps. From the Waverley steps, turn left, and you will see the centre, which is also signposted.
Although it is in a cutting, Waverley is regarded as an underground station, therefore no flash photography can be used. With traffic being above, you will get very little (if any) traffic noise.
