Cover Edinburgh's royal highlights with the Royal Attractions and Hop-On Hop-Off Bus pass. Tour the castle, Holyroodhouse and Britannia, using the three bus routes to move between the centre and Leith.

📖

Full description

This pass bundles entry to Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Royal Yacht Britannia with 48 hours of travel on three sightseeing bus routes linking the centre and Leith. Buses stop near each attraction, so hopping between them is straightforward, and audio handsets are provided at the palace and yacht, with castle audio optional.

Allow around five hours for the three visits. Holyroodhouse has weekly and royal-event closures, so the pass does not guarantee access on closed days.
