Airport - Edinburgh International Airport (EDI), is situated some 10 miles west of the city. The airport offers a wide range of domestic and international flights to Europe and North America. Many visitors to the city arrive via a connecting flight from London, the UK's main international hub.
Shopping - Princes Street, north of the castle, is the main shopping street in Edinburgh. It runs through the middle of the city from the train station to Lothian Road. It contains large chain stores such as HMV for music, Topshop and H&M for clothes, tourist oriented shops, and department stores. There are many more upmarket shops, restaurants and bars on George Street which runs parallel to Princes Street. Cockburn Street (pronounced "co-burn") in the Old Town has many small alternative shops selling music, novelty toys, underground clothing, body piercings and spiritual items.
