Christmas
The traditional and romantic Christmas Market in Princes Street offers a unique shopping experience for visitors with various crafters, artists, gift shops and gastronomic surprises. The Scottish Market in St Andrew Square has treats on offer such as traditional butteries with a contemporary twist, fresh fish and chips and a range of seafood to take away, Scottish brewed craft beer and much much more. The city is a blaze of colour with the Big Wheel, Carousel and outdoor ice-rink making Edinburgh quite magical. Get that Christmas feeling! |
Hogmanay (New Year)
Voted the best place on the planet to see in the New Year. Edinburgh's Hogmanay is like no other. The firelight procession led by Vikings to the top of Calton Hill is extraordinary and the events around the city in the run up to the big night make it a four day celebration. There is so much going on and the city fills with visitors from around the globe, giving a wonderful atmosphere of joy and celebration. Book early – nope – book really REALLY early. Always sells out.
