Here are a few reasons why you should be coming to Edinburgh whether for the international festival or some of the capital's other world class attractions.
Edinburgh is perhaps best known for its Festivals which peak in late August.
Edinburgh's Hogmanay has, for many years been the biggest and best.
At other times of the year have a look at www.edinburgh.org/events/ for inspiration.
Edinburgh Castle dominates the city centre and provides a great view of Princes Street Gardens, the city as well as its surroundings. At the other end of the Royal Mile lies the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the controversial new Scottish Parliament.
