Directions to Paradise Penthouse

By road

We’d thoroughly recommend coming to Edinburgh by train or plane, as parking is horrendous and expensive.  There are double yellow lines outside Paradise Penthouse and very vigilant parking wardens and police (though if you keep an eye out you can unload your car!).  However, if you would like to bring a car, there’s a really good, secure car park just a couple of minutes walk away which is covered and manned.  The A1 brings you into Edinburgh from the South, the M8 from the West and the M90 from the North.
 
By rail

Arrive at Waverley Station and get a taxi to Old Fishmarket Close (ask for Shaw’s restaurant if the driver isn’t sure).  It’s very close and shouldn’t cost more than about £3 each way.  There is a taxi rank at the station and for your return try City Cabs on 0131 228 1211 (black cabs; quick and reliable).  If you prefer to walk, it’ll take about 10 minutes if you’re fit, as it’s mainly uphill.  Leave the station, turn left and then walk up Cockburn (pronounced Co’burn in case you need to ask for directions) Street, turn right onto the Royal Mile (also known as the High Street at this point), cross over the road and Old Fishmarket Close is just before you get to St Giles Cathedral.  Turn down it and the Tron building (in which Paradise Penthouse is situated) is facing you.
 
By air

From Edinburgh airport, take the shuttle bus to Edinburgh (it terminates right outside Waverley railway station) and then follow instructions above (taxi or walking).  If you want to take a taxi, try ringing City Cabs en route and they’ll be waiting for you; otherwise walk down into the station and use the taxi rank there.
 
By ferry

There is a ferry terminal in Rosyth, just a short trip away from Edinburgh, following the A90 over the Forth Bridge and into the City centre.

Foot passengers can take the X2 bus directly into the central bus station in Edinburgh or can take the same bus to the railway station at Inverkeithing and then get the train to Waverley Station in Edinburgh.
