Best time to visit
Edinburgh shines in summer (June–August) with long days and mild weather, but it's also peak season. To save money, try spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), when crowds thin out and the weather stays pleasant. Winter is cheaper but darker and colder.
What to do in Edinburgh
Edinburgh Castle is a must: it dominates the skyline and offers 360° views of the city. Walk the Royal Mile, Scotland's most famous medieval street, packed with shops and real pubs. Don't skip Calton Hill for panoramic photos, and consider a day trip to the nearby coast or Pentland Hills. The Leith neighbourhood has museums and bohemian vibes.
