Having stored my luggage here for four days, I found the rates reasonable, the location conveniently close to Southern Cross Station, and the shop itself open for extended hours – meaning I scarcely had to worry about missing my train. What's more, when collecting my bags, the staff took the trouble to verify the collector's identity, which was a welcome reassurance!!

I used Radical Storage to store my suitcase for our last day visiting Rome, and it’s honestly the best thing to do. This Hotel is the nearest around Colloseum to dispose of such services, the staff is fluent in English, and it’s only 6€/suitcase a day. Just to let you know how to access cause it’s in a Orange square shaped building with no ads on it ; just look at the bell rings and there is “Maximus”, it’s the hotel one.

The place is called Bistro 49 and Google doesn't show the correct location. It's the street over the bus station. Anyway, got there and was asked for the confirmation, showed it and they asked me to leave the bags in a corner which I did. When I got back the bags were in the same spot untouched so I was happy. Also when you book, it forces you to take insurance for €3.50. There's not an opt out option so be aware when booking. Other than than, no complaints. My bags were fine and would use them again if I'm ever in the area. It actually worked out perfectly.

Edinburgh Castle tour

Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is the main landmark and true embodiment of the Scottish spirit. It is located in the heart of Edinburgh, just a few meters from the Royal Mile or the Old Town and it is an imposing building started in the 7th century and represents the history of the city itself. If you are curious about this area and want to visit Edinburgh Castle inside, do not hesitate to! In fact, you can buy the tickets for Castle Edinburgh online and choose between one of the many guided tours offered.

While walking through these strong walls, you can learn about Edinburgh Castle’s history, look at the ancient artifacts by the Royal family and even hop on and buy some souvenirs from the Edinburgh Castle gift shop so that you can take a little bit from this journey back home and never forget about it.

However, the Castle represents only the tip of the many attractions that you can admire in the city: the area, in fact, is very well connected to the entire city, and with a bus ride, you can reach any location in Edinburgh easily and vice versa. Even the route to Edinburgh Castle from Waverley train station is just a ten-minute walk, so you will be able to roam around the city and discover all its secrets.

Book with Radical Storage a luggage storage near Edinburgh Castle

Your trip to Edinburgh has just begun and you’re looking at your guide, with the list of all the attractions that you have to visit during your stay, when suddenly the Edinburgh castle pops up. You definitely have to pay a visit to this amazing fortress, but it would get quite complicated to wander around its walls, if you also need to care about your suitcases.

Luckily, Radical Storage has a great deal of luggage storage options near the Edinburgh Castle, so you can choose whichever one you prefer and in a moment you’ll be able to leave your belongings in a safe space, so that you can finally enjoy your trip to the Edinburgh Castle.

How should I arrive to the Edinburgh Castle from the Airport of Edinburgh?

In order to arrive to the Edinburgh Castle from the Edinburgh Airport, there are a few convenient transportation options. First of all, the most convenient and straightforward option is to take a taxi or use a rideshare service. Since outside the airport terminal, there are dedicated taxi queues where taxis are readily available, it should be really easy to find the ride. The drive from the airport to the castle typically takes around 25 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

An alternative to this could be the Airlink bus service. In fact, the express bus runs between the airport and the city center, making multiple stops along the way, which might be convenient for you. You can catch the Airlink bus right outside the terminal building, and it offers a comfortable and cost-effective way to reach the castle. From the final stop in the city center, you can either walk up the historic Royal Mile or hop on a local bus that will take you closer to the castle gates.

If you instead want to use public transportation, there are countless local buses that links from the airport to the city center. The bus stops are conveniently located outside the terminal building, and various routes connect the airport to different parts of the city. Once in the city center, you can again walk up the Royal Mile or transfer to a different bus that serves the castle area.

How to reach the Edinburgh Waverley Station from the Edinburgh Castle

If you want to reach Edinburgh Waverley Station from Edinburgh Castle, here’s the list of the most convenient options available.

Certainly, walking is the most straightforward way to get between these two locations, which will allow you to explore the city. It takes 15 minutes to cover the distance of around 0.8 miles. Simply head east from the castle down Castlehill, then continue onto the Royal Mile. Once you reach Market Street, turn right and follow it down until you reach the entrance of Edinburgh Waverley Station.

You could also think about taking a taxi or rideshare service, that can be found outside of the castle. It’s an easier and faster method, especially helpful if you have heavy luggage or are unable to walk for an extended period. The journey only takes around 5 minutes depending on traffic.

However, there are bus services available that could link you to the place. Outside the castle, along the Royal Mile, you can find bus stops with multiple routes heading towards the city center. You could take the bus number 6 to the Princes Street stop, which is only a short walk from the station. Additionally, bus numbers 23 and 27 also pass by Waverley Bridge, which is adjacent to the station.

Lastly, if you prefer the train, you can catch an Edinburgh-bound train from Haymarket Station, located in the west of the city. The journey to Edinburgh Waverley Station only takes a few minutes. Once you arrive at Waverley, you can easily access the city center or catch connecting trains to other destinations.

Things to do near Edinburgh Castle

Finally, you have visited the immense Edinburgh Castle, but you still have plenty of time to spend discovering every nook and corner of this wonderful city, so you are asking yourself what things to do near Edinburgh Castle. Luckily, you have many options to choose from.

Just a few minutes away, you can admire a church near Edinburgh Castle, St. Margaret Chapel, one of the royal family’s private churches. Despite its rural architecture, the Chapel is a wonderful place to visit, full of history to unveil and secrets to discover. However, if you want to learn more about the past of the city, you can also take a guided tour of The National War Museum of Scotland. In this beautiful building, thousands of historical evidence and artifacts are collected, representing the history of the country and its brave and rebellious spirit.

After a lot of time spent sightseeing around the city, you can just stroll around, enjoy the city life and shop a little bit. In this case, Royal Mile is a mandatory stop, where you can find many restaurants, shops, and pubs, where to spend a nice evening and have a pint of beer with your friends.
