Things to know before visiting Edinburgh

Traveling to Edinburgh couldn't be simpler. No visa is required for United States citizens and you'll be flying into Edinburgh Airport, a busy international airport used to handling millions of customers each year. In fact, it is the UK's busiest airport for domestic travel, so it will have everything you should expect. Scotland's currency is the Scottish Pound Sterling, however currency from elsewhere in the UK, including the Great British Pound Sterling, is accepted everywhere.

It’s important to plan ahead when thinking of vacations in Scotland, as part of this nation’s charm is its rugged nature and climate. If you’ve taken a flight from Los Angeles to Edinburgh then expect to swap suntan lotion for sweaters, most of the year. But, much like anyone who takes a flight from New York to Edinburgh will know, Edinburgh is a city where colder winters can be matched with very warm summers. Scotland’s friendly and welcoming capital can be the perfect destination for those last minute vacation packages. So whatever flight to Edinburgh you choose, and whatever the weather, Scotland and its people are sure to be a delight.
