Out and About in Edinburgh

Summertime in Edinburgh is nearly one continuous festival, as locals and visitors alike enjoy the interval of warm weather. The Edinburgh International Festival is the big one, offering world-class music and theater performances. Numerous other festivals focus specifically on bagpipe music, books, jazz, comedy, and film. In winter you can join the city's four-day celebration of Hogmanay, welcoming the new year with fireworks, parades, and concerts. For a quieter experience, spend a few fascinating hours in the free National Museum of Scotland. You'll find history, nature, refreshments, and an unequaled view of the city from the terrace.

Eating and Drinking

Are you ready for haggis, black pudding, and deep-fried Mars bars? Traditional Scottish food poses a challenge to some international visitors, but fortunately this cosmopolitan city has countless delicious and more familiar culinary offerings. Fish and chip places are popular, and they accompany their fresh offerings with "salt-n-sauce," which is vinegary, salty, and downright delicious. The numerous luxury hotels in Edinburgh provide exceptional dining experiences.
