| Edinburgh considered to be the city of tradition and contrast and is one of the most tempting holiday spots worldwide. Edinburgh spreads from the south to the north, from the hills to the sea. The city port Leith and the waterfront will take you to a relaxing experience of marine views, casual bars and some quite charming pubs with excellent food. You may hear a lot, you may see a lot, but what you can only sense is the amazing Scott soul deeply enrooted in the city that managed to establish charm through the rudeness of contrast, beauty through arrogance and intellectuality through cheer.
The city is at its most hectic during the summer months for this is the time of the major festivals. The immensely popular Edinburgh Fringe Festival offers a mixed batch of light entertainment from comedy to Shakespeare. The Edinburgh Hogmanay celebration is another immensely popular event; and while the street party - which draws 100,000 people on New Year's Eve - is the main event, the celebration lasts for four days, and is famously one of the largest New Year's Eve gatherings in the world. Every year during the month of August Edinburgh welcomes thousands of visitors to its world famous festival. It is in fact made up of a variety of festivals, exhibitions and events including The Fringe, Book Festival, the International Festival, Jazz & Blues Festival, Military Tattoo, Film Festival and Edinburgh Mela. Additionally, many head to Edinburgh for its month long festival at Christmas which culminates in the world famous Hogmanay celebrations
Edinburgh's pubs provide great excitement and fun for visitors as well. Take a walk along the Royal Mile - one of the city's oldest streets, which stretches from Edinburgh Castle down to Holyrood Palace, situated beside the new Scottish Parliament building. The Royal Mile boasts some of the best pubs in Edinburgh, including Deacon Brodies, the Jolly Judge tavern and the Royal Mile Tavern.
If you are coming to Edinburgh on a short break, you may need to plan another visit as there is so much to keep you entertained in the city, you’ll want to return again and again. The best thing is that Edinburgh is packed full of attractions and sights to see which all lie in and around the city centre. It is better to book your ticket from Hogmanay Tours in advance for your next trip from PP Travel. |
