Museums & Galleries: Quick Picks

Must-sees

National Museum of Scotland — family-friendly and free (donations welcomed).
Scottish National Gallery — classical and renaissance works near Princes Street.

Short visits vs full exhibitions

Short visits (45–90 mins): highlights and galleries focusing on one floor.
Full exhibition time: 2+ hours for large museum shows.

Tip: Use the HoHo to travel between galleries rather than walk the whole network in one day.
