Getting The Best From Edinburgh On A Budget

Monday, December 28th, 2009

You probably already realise that renting serviced apartments in Edinburgh is the best way to enjoy the city.

However, invest in an Edinburgh City Pass and you gain free access to over 25 top attractions, including Edinburgh Castle and the 3D Loch Ness experience, as well as special offers at a number of shops.

Another way to enjoy the city on a budget is by taking advantage of one of the numerous guided tours. As well as a circular open top bus tour, there are many guided walking tours – some of which take place after dark!

Edinburgh has numerous tourist attractions that simply require investment in a pair of walking shoes. Edinburgh is a city built to be walked around. Prince’s Gardens, below the Castle, has a bandstand which features live, free music events in the weeks leading up to Hogmanay, as well as a floral clock and a large collection of famous statues. In fact, if you enjoy culture then renting luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh will have you reeling with delight.

Holyrood Park offers numerous stunning walks, if hiking is your thing. If staying in serviced apartments in Edinburgh by New Town, it’s a short bus ride along the Queen’s Drive, but once there you would think you were in the middle of the Highlands. Wander the three lochs, or clamber to the top of Arthur’s Seat – the remains of an extinct volcano – and see the city in all its glory.

By renting luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh from us at Serviced City Pads, you can have the holiday of a lifetime, no matter how tight your budget. Visit us today to see the accommodation in Edinburgh we have on offer.

The Parks And Gardens Of Edinburgh

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

If you book luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh, you soon discover that the best form of transport is a pair of stout shoes. A guided tour on an open top bus is a great way to see the city if you’ve only rented serviced apartments in Edinburgh for a few days, but if you’ve longer – use your feet.

Take a stroll along the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle, and you’ll see the best view of Edinburgh there is. The green area in the foreground is Princes Street Gardens. Today a charming, peaceful city park with statues, bandstands and a floral clock, it was, until the 1750s, the site of Nor’ Loch. Here, witches were half-drowned before being burned at the stake. The plaque at Witches Well, on Castle Hill, tells you that more innocent women were burned here than anywhere else in the UK.

Leaving this grisly scene behind, a short bus ride – or a longish walk – takes you to Holyrood House, at the opposite end of the Royal Mile. This is the seat of Scottish Parliament, and stands in one of the finest city parks in the world.
Rent luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh by the Royal Mile, and within minutes you are seemingly miles from anywhere. Holyrood Park houses an extinct volcano and 3 lochs – yet it is almost entirely surrounded by the city!

Take a walk up to Arthur’s Seat, actually the remains of the volcano upon which Edinburgh stands and you can make out the remains of ancient lava flows. There are a variety of hotels in Edinburgh for you to enjoy your stay.

Whether for business or pleasure, renting our luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh at Serviced City Pads will leave you with the memories of a lifetime.

Edinburgh In 48 Hours

Monday, December 14th, 2009

We at Serviced City Pads rent out luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh for as short or as long a time as you wish. Even if you’ve only booked in for a relaxing weekend, there is still a lot you can do.

If you’ve just a few days to spend in one of our luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh, an Edinburgh open-top bus tour is a great way to see a lot of the city. The tours take you around the broad avenues of the Georgian New Town, and the narrow streets of the medieval Old Town, in a circular loop.

The bus tour is great for rainy days, as the downstairs section is undercover and heated. However, so long as it’s dry, a walk from the top of the Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle is what renting serviced apartments in Edinburgh is all about.

The Castle is a place to go to again and again, as the exhibitions are constantly changing. Permanent attractions include the Crown Jewels of Scotland and the Stone of Destiny. If you’re an animal lover, try to locate the Dogs’ Cemetery – a poignant memorial to the way man’s best friend has come to his aid in times of war. Try to visit the Castle at the end of the day, when it’s at it quietest. The view of the city from the ramparts, at dusk, is one of the finest views you’ll see anywhere.

We at Serviced City Pads have luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh available throughout the year – with Christmas just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to go. Visit our website today to see our apartments in Edinburgh and hotels in Edinburgh.

Come Christmas, Edinburgh hosts two marathon runs – one serious, the other a fun run. Anyone can join in. If running isn’t your thing, Edinburgh also has several historic golf courses. Why not book hotels in Edinburgh for a golfing break?

Many people book our luxury serviced apartments in Edinburgh as a base from which to explore East, West and Midlothian. Even if you feel Edinburgh has shown you all there is to see, there is still plenty outside the city walls. This is where Scotland’s history was cast. Tour the surrounding districts and you’ll see stately homes, mediaeval chapels and castles every bit as dramatic as Edinburgh’s own towering edifice.

If you are lucky enough to be here on business you may not have time to explore the surrounding area – but it’s still best to rent accommodation in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is full of hotels, but having your own pad allows you the flexibility that all-inclusive options lack.

Edinburgh Castle dominates the skyline watching over its population like a protective parent. The piper that pipes in a new day is one in a long line of pipers that have welcomed visitors to the castle over the centuries. Tradition plays a large part in Scottish culture and Edinburgh is steeped in much of the country’s traditional songs.

Traditionally of course people stay in hotels when visiting a city but here at Serviced City Pads we think that staying in a serviced city apartment might just see the end of that routine.
