One of the best things about Edinburgh, and the UK in general is that it's so easy to get from point A to point B. You can almost get anywhere with not much stress or even planning at all. I never did this personally, but it would be easy to take the bus to Waverley Station and just pick a random destination to visit for the day. Everything is very inexpensive, and aside from that, efficient. The buses are always prompt, and if you happen to miss your bus, it's likely that another one will arrive within the next ten minutes. They even have night buses, which run selected routes all through the evening for an additional fee (I think it's something like 1.50). Even the buses travel about 45 minutes outside of the city centre, which is different than an American city which has more limited access. It was challenging figuring out what bus to take for the first week, but once we got our hands on a bus map we were like old pros. The efficient public transit in Edinburgh is something I will miss once I return home.
