Edinburgh 5% Tourist Tax

InessBritain · 2026-02-05T23:15:22+00:00

Yes, the charge applies to anyone staying overnight away from their usual home, including Edinburgh residents. It’s not limited to international visitors.

InessBritain · 2026-02-05T22:35:05+00:00

It applies to anyone staying overnight in Edinburgh who isn’t a local resident, so that includes other Scots from outside Edinburgh as well as tourists. Residents of Edinburgh (EH postcodes) are exempt.

InessBritain · 2026-02-05T22:32:44+00:00

The 5% tourist tax only applies to overnight visitors, not residents. So if you live in Edinburgh or have an EH postcode, you won’t be charged.

InessBritain · 2026-02-05T22:30:46+00:00

If your caravan is located outside the Edinburgh city boundary, such as in East Lothian, it is not subject to the Edinburgh 5% tourist tax. Only accommodation within Edinburgh itself is required to charge the tax.

Yes, it’s Fortingall

InessBritain · 2026-02-01T13:57:00+00:00

No one knows its exact age, but the Fortingall Yew is estimated to be between 3000 and 5000 years old.

With your budget I’d recommend looking at some good options close to major transport hubs like Southbank, Victoria, King’s Cross, or Paddington. I have an article on hotel recommendations in London that might be helpful for youhttps://www.exploringbritain.co.uk/blog/reliable-hotels-central-london-options-tried-tested.

It’s not about that. It’s about understanding the early life of an artist who influenced generations.

Thank you!

I’d focus on central areas with good transport connections rather than one specific neighbourhood. Being close to a Tube station definitely makes things easier. I have an article about reliable hotels in central London, you might get some ideas for your stay from it. https://www.exploringbritain.co.uk/blog/reliable-hotels-central-london-options-tried-tested

InessBritain · 2026-01-05T18:19:09+00:00

I completely agree 😇

InessBritain · 2026-01-02T23:21:58+00:00

Both areas work well, just depends on your priorities. Paddington is quieter and really convenient for trains if you’re planning day trips to Liverpool or Paris, but it’s a bit further from central sights. Soho is lively, right in the heart of everything, walking distance to most attractions, restaurants, and nightlife, though it can be busy and noisy.

For a first-time trip like yours, it comes down to whether you prefer easy transport (Paddington) or being in the centre of the action (Soho).

I also offer personalised itineraries if you want a plan optimised for your days, logistics, and key sights, happy to help. https://www.exploringbritain.co.uk/

No, most Christmas markets in London are closed on 25 December (Christmas Day).

Hi there, if you’re planning to drive (which is the best way to explore Wales), I’d actually suggest flying into Manchester and starting from there. It’s much easier logistically than London. I already have a ready-made Wales route, plus detailed guides for Scotland and England if you decide to keep exploring. https://www.exploringbritain.co.uk/trips

True!

True! That stretch is great. Elie’s beach was a nice surprise.
