These cobbled streets are alive with history
Stepping into Edinburgh feels like stepping back in time. Historical sites are as common as cosy pubs in this Scottish city, from the ancient castle that watches over the winding alleyways below, to the graveyard that inspired the name of Harry Potter's famous archnemesis, Tom Riddle.
Fly to Edinburgh with British Airways and see the capital’s time-stamped sights for yourself. The Royal Mile is the Old Town’s main street, lined with kiltmakers, whisky shops and bagpipe players performing for crowds. At one end sits Edinburgh Castle, where you can learn gruesome facts and enjoy panoramic views over the city. Next door is the ancient Grassmarket area of the city, where a weekly market sells handmade gifts and local produce. If shopping is on your to-do list, head to Princes Street in New Town for a spot of retail therapy, while art buffs can spend hours exploring the galleries. There are three in this area of the city alone. Book a flight to Edinburgh today.

You can fly to Edinburgh with British Airways from London Heathrow and London City.
There are two busy seasons in Edinburgh – summer, when several festivals take place, and the festive period, when Christmas markets and Hogmanay celebrations take over the city. Flights are generally cheaper outside of these periods.
There are lots of options for affordable trips to Edinburgh, even during the more expensive times to visit. The city has accommodation options for every budget, from cheap hostels overlooked by Edinburgh Castle to chic apartments in New Town. You can buy an open return tram ticket from the airport to the city centre that can be used whenever you’re heading home as there’s no use-by date. The city is very easy to walk around too, especially if you explore the different neighbourhoods on different days – but public transport options come at a range of prices if you want to use them.
You can get from Edinburgh Airport to the city centre by tram, bus or taxi. It takes about 30 minutes in a car or 40 by public transport. There are a variety of ticket options available on the tram and bus so you can choose the most appropriate one for your stay.
