Edinburgh in a nutshell
Edinburgh is an ancient settlement, with something to offer everyone from the lively bars and trendy nightlife of George Street and Stockbridge, to the historic Edinburgh castle and the spectacular buildings of the Royal Mile. The best view of the city can be found at the top of Arthur’s Seat – a towering peak which rises above the city centre, reminding visitors that the Scottish wilderness is never far away.
Summer sunshine, winter revelry
Edinburgh is more temperate than other parts of Scotland, but can get a little chilly during the winter months. To enjoy the majestic architecture of the Royal Mile in the summer sunshine, be sure to book your Edinburgh flights during the summer months. The Edinburgh Festival takes place in August and the surrounding Fringe Festival is a must for theatre and comedy fans, although prices tend to be at a premium! For a more affordable summer break, cheap tickets to Edinburgh can be found in June and July. Be sure to keep an eye out for last-minute flights to Edinburgh, which offer good deals throughout the year. If you enjoy the cooler winter weather, Hogmanay – the world’s most famous New Year’s celebration – is not to be missed. Head over to Prince’s Street to be at the heart of the celebrations!
