Compact, steeped in history and rich with culture, Edinburgh is the perfect place for a weekend break.
A lively and dynamic city full of outstanding sights, Edinburgh has world-class attractions and striking architecture. The capital of Scotland is also located in the centre of the country, allowing easy access to the beautiful surrounding countryside of the Lothians, as well as cities such as Glasgow.
Edinburgh is one of the world’s most vibrant cities with a calendar of festivals and events throughout the year. In spring see the Meadows ablaze with beautiful cherry blossom trees or join in the extraordinary Beltane Fire Festival, which marks the beginning of summer on Edinburgh’s Calton Hill, or why not visit in August when the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is in full swing? In autumn join in the Scottish International Storytelling Festival and in winter wrap up warm to browse the December Christmas markets and glide across the UK’s largest outdoor ice rink at the city’s iconic Winter Wonderland.
