Best time to visit
December brings festive Christmas markets and decorations to Edinburgh, though expect cold weather and frequent rain. For milder conditions and fewer crowds, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are your best bets. Prices tend to be sharper outside July-August and school holidays.
What to do when you arrive
Edinburgh Airport is 8 km from the city centre. Have cash or card ready for transport: bus, train or taxi are your main options. In the city itself, Edinburgh Castle is a must, the Old Town is pure medieval history, and the Royal Mile connects them both. If time allows, climb Arthur's Seat for panoramic views across Scotland's capital.
