Already one of the world’s most breath-taking cities, Edinburgh comes into its own during the Festive Season. This ancient city becomes festooned with all the lights and delights of the season, as city centre landmarks such as Princes Street Gardens, George Street and St. Andrews Square, are all dominated by one of Europe’s most expansive and celebrated Christmas Markets.
Edinburgh then sees the year out in style, as 150,000 visit the city to join in the Hogmanay celebrations, culminating in the world’s largest street party, which takes place on Princes Street on 31st December, where you can watch a dazzling fireworks display, from above the Medieval Edinburgh Castle.
