The Edinburgh City Pass saves you money and is easy to use. Each pass is valid for either one, two, or three consecutive calendar days and is simply scanned at each experience to gain entry. 

Your pass activates when you enter your first experience during your visit. We always advise customers to start using their pass first thing in the morning as from then on it works on a calendar day basis, not 24-hour period. The Edinburgh City Pass does not include fast track access, and you can use it only once per experience.

What our customers say…

Had a phenomenal time using my Edinburgh city pass! Was able to enter the venues smoothly with the card. Also, found a great side walking trip that was detailed in the guide.
The views from the top of Scott monument was breathtaking. I would not have gone up without the pass. Would recommend as an easy and affordable way to enjoy Edinburgh.
Edinburgh city pass is a must do for anybody wanting to get the most out of a short holiday in Edinburgh.
