🚆 Smart Arrival Planning with EDi Before you even touch down, EDi helps you:

  • Compare routes (air, rail, or car): EDi accesses real-time transport data, ensuring you pick the fastest, most cost-efficient option to Edinburgh.

  • Set arrival alerts: Whether you’re landing at Edinburgh Airport or arriving at Waverley Station, EDi gives you live updates on arrivals, transfers, and weather.

  • Custom travel plan: Enter your group type — solo, couple, or family — and EDi will build a personalised arrival schedule, including the best time to travel to avoid festival congestion.

 

✈️ Pro tip: Festival season peaks in August. Use EDi to arrive early (late July or early morning Aug) for smoother check-ins and transport flow.

🎭  Navigate the Edinburgh Festival Scene Like a Local

With 3,000+ shows spread across 260+ venues, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. EDi helps you:

  • Search shows by interest: Filter by “family shows”, “accessible venues”, “evening performances”, or “free events”

  • Get real-time venue capacity & wait times: Never queue needlessly

  • Navigate easily: AI-powered walking routes show you the quickest paths — stroller-friendly, too!

  • Discover hidden gems: EDi analyses your preferences and recommends up-and-coming acts or niche events

👨‍👩‍👧 Perfect for families: EDi’s “Fringe Kids Tracker” sends reminders for kid-appropriate events and flag-free venue access options.

🏨 Family-Friendly Accommodation in Minutes One of the most common questions is: Where should families stay in Edinburgh?

Using its smart mapping and real-time accommodation scanner, EDi recommends stays based on:

  • Proximity to festival venues (walking distance to Royal Mile, George Square, or Usher Hall)

  • Kid-friendly amenities (cribs, family suites, children’s menus)

  • Budget & travel style: boutique, chain hotels, serviced apartments

  • 🧳 “EDi found us a family suite just 300m from The Pleasance venue with a babysitting service — booked in under 10 minutes.” – Happy traveller, 2025

🧭 Step 4: Day-to-Day Support from Your Digital Guide

EDi is not just a search engine — it’s a real-time concierge in your pocket.

  • Daily plans: Each morning, receive a digest of weather, events, restaurant suggestions, and kid-friendly tips

  • Traffic alerts: Rerouting notifications if certain streets are pedestrianised for festival use

  • Instant reservations: From restaurants to Fringe tickets, book on the go

🤖 Bonus: Families can share one EDi account with synced itineraries and safety alerts if your group splits up.

🎒 Step 5: Make It Memorable & Easy with EDi’s Memory Mode

One of EDi’s 2025 innovations is “Memory Mode”, which:

  • Captures a trip log of shows you attended, places you dined, and routes walked

  • Creates a personalised “Festival Scrapbook” for families to relive the trip

  • Syncs with cloud storage so you can revisit your trip — or use it to plan your next one!
