Visiting Edinburgh in December
December features month-long celebrations: festive Christmas markets in Princes Street Gardens and the legendary three-day Hogmanay New Year street party.
Edinburgh commands the southern shore of the Firth of Forth in Scotland, built across a dramatic landscape of extinct volcanic crags and steep ridges. The Scottish capital splits into two distinct architectural worlds: the winding medieval Old Town and the graceful neoclassical Georgian New Town.
- From the airport
- Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is located 13 kilometres west of the city. The Edinburgh Tram departs right outside the terminal, reaching Princes Street and St Andrew Square in approximately 35 minutes. The Airlink 100 express bus offers a quick alternative. Taxis to downtown cost around 30 to 35 pounds.
- Getting around
- The historic centre is best traversed on foot, though prepare for steep stone steps, hilly cobblestones, and hidden closes. The local bus network run by Lothian Buses and the tram system are exceptionally frequent, clean, and modern. Simply tap your contactless bank card onboard; fares are automatically capped daily.
