Scottish Citylink today unveiled its new Explorer Pass.

The Explorer Pass is the perfect way to see the best of Scotland by providing unlimited travel on all Citylink services within Scotland as well as offering discounts on accommodation, tourist attractions and on bus, coach and ferry travel.

The following Explorer Passes are available:

• 3 days consecutive travel £39
• 5 days travel out of 10 £62
• 8 days travel out of 16 £85

With the Citylink network covering over 200 towns and cities across the country and with over 400 services per day, the toughest decision will be working out where to go first.

The pass also provides discounts on accommodation, bus, coach and ferry travel through Caledonian MacBrayne, NorthLink Ferries, Scottish Youth Hostel Association, Independent Backpackers Hostels Scotland and City Sightseeing who operate tours of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Inverness.

Citylink has also joined forces with many of Scotland’s top attractions including Edinburgh Zoo, Glasgow Science Centre, The Royal Yacht Britannia, Highland Wildlife Park and The Tall Ship to offer discounted entrance fees.

Paul Murphy, Marketing Manager for Citylink, said: “Citylink is committed to providing the best possible service to our customers and our Explorer Pass is ideal for anyone who wants to make the most of the many attractions Scotland has to offer.

“Not only do you benefit from unlimited travel across the comprehensive Citylink network but by teaming up with other leading travel providers we can offer even more destinations from Orkney and Shetland right down to the Borders.”

Alistair Gronbach, head of brand marketing at VisitScotland said: "The Citylink Explorer Pass is a fantastic idea, as it will encourage people to get around the country and experience the many great attractions and visitor facilities Scotland has to offer.

"Overall, the easier it is to get to a destination, the more chance you have of attracting visitors; therefore, the Explorer Pass is something we fully support and welcome.''

Explorer Passes are available online at www.citylink.co.uk or by calling 08705 50 50 50.
