Edinburgh Holiday Deals

When packing for a trip to Edinburgh, don't forget the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some GBP and the correct power adaptor. Clothing wise, check out the seasonality guides and pack to suit the conditions - aka plenty of  layers for winter and lighter options for summer. Other necessities include a raincoat, walking shoes, hat, and sunglasses. We also recommend doing some bicep curls in preparation for all the beer, whisky and gin samples you’ll no doubt be lifting throughout your stay.

Edinburgh is an incredibly walkable city, so you shouldn’t have any issues navigating all the sites. With this in mind, travellers generally opt to stay in Old Town, New Town, Stockbridge, Leith and Dean Village.

While Edinburgh isn’t winning any prizes for year-round sunshine, it does give travellers the chance to experience all four seasons. Summer offers the hottest temps and long, sunny days between June and August, while winter will bring the cold, fog and snow between December and February. If you’re not a fan of the cold and are keen to make the most of your days in Scotland, we recommend visiting between March and August.

Beyond sampling haggis and shopping for your next kilt, Edinburgh packs a mighty punch when it comes to holiday activities. Take your pick from days spent wising up at history at the National Museum of Scotland, exploring the fortress on Castle Rock, enjoying a spot of shopping on Prince Street and sampling any of the city’s specialty beers, whisky and gin.
