Edinburgh is one
of the most beautiful cities you will ever
visit. It is full of history, architecture
covering from medieval times to modern day,
stunning landscape and a wealth of culture.
The main events in the calendar are the
festivals held in August, which include the
International Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, the Military Tattoo and International
Book
Festival. At this time of year the streets come
alive with street performers and stalls making
for a vibrant atmosphere. Another time of year
not to miss is Christmas and Hogmanay, the
street party held on Princes Street on New
Year’s Eve is a world renowned event. A visit in
December for shopping would allow you to take in
the authentic German market and the Winter
Wonderland which brings to life the magic that
is Christmas. The International Film Festival is
held in June.
At any other time of year a visit to Edinburgh
provides a diverse array of attractions. Whether
you enjoy museums, art galleries, historic
buildings, literature, nightlife, theatre or
just the simply ambience of the city, however
long your stay is you will wish it had been
longer.
For the family, the festivals have lots of
children’s shows, especially the Fringe Festival
and the Book Festival. Attractions to occupy the
children include Edinburgh Zoo, Dynamic Earth,
Botanic Gardens and the National Museum of
Scotland. There are also plenty of green spaces
to burn off any excess energy.
