Visiting Edinburgh during the Festival

Edinburgh has become a hot spot for artistic talent beginning with the International Festival and the Festival Fringe.

The programme has grown with the Edinburgh Book Festival, the largest book festival in the world, the Edinburgh Film Festival, a world renowned showcase of cinematic talent and the Military Tattoo in the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.

The Jazz Festival in late July and Edinburgh Mela in the last days of August bookend a phenomenal six weeks of arts and culture in the city. There is also Festivals throughout the year, should you be visiting the city outwith the main six week period.

It’s no wonder that Edinburgh has truly become the festival city!
