Accessible Travel to Edinburgh
Edinburgh Accessible Travel Tips
Edinburgh’s Waverly Station is accessible and is located between the New Town and the Old Town. It’s uphill to get to the Old Town from here and disabled tourists will usually want to take a taxi if their hotel is in the Old Town. One of the best accessibility features of Edinburgh are its black cabs. They are a necessity for disabled travelers to navigate the hilly landscape and all cabs have wheelchair ramps. These cabs make travel easier to all the great things to see in this city. Because Edinburgh Castle is at the highest point in the city, wheelchair tourists should take a taxi to reach it at the beginning of the day then roll down to the other sights along the Royal Mile.
