Welcome To Edinburgh In The Spring

Many observers believe that Paris is the most romantic city in the world, with Spring being the best time to visit the ‘City Of Love’. That being the case, Edinburgh, ‘The Athens Of The North’, gives Paris a good run for its money. As we noted in our recent blog, tourism is soaring in Scotland’s capital, and there’s always something going on, no matter what time of year you visit.

Edinburgh is always a vibrant city and Spring is a beautiful time to come and sample its many delights, particularly when you can enjoy the sights and sounds without the huge crowds that high season attracts.

Edinburgh - Something For Everyone

From galleries and museums hosting a variety of phenomenal exhibitions, to larger events promoting the top names from comedy, music, theatre, sport and more, there’s definitely something for all the family to enjoy, day and night. It needn’t always cost money though. Simply exploring the city on foot can be activity enough. There are plenty of parks and open green spaces - Calton Hill, Arthur’s Seat, Princes Street Gardens and the Meadows, for instance – with the Grassmarket offering the perfect opportunity to relax and dine alfresco style on the cobbled streets of the Old Town.

But if it’s the season that attracts you, what better place to appreciate bright Spring colours than the Royal Botanical Gardens? As well as stunning blooms, there are events, workshops, exhibitions and more to keep you busy. And, if you have children, are an animal lover, or both, Edinburgh Zoo is a must. Despite its longevity it never fails to inform, amuse and entertain all the family no matter how many times you visit.

A Range Of International Class Festivals And Events

Edinburgh has deservedly forged a reputation as a reliable host of eclectic events and festivals, that attract many big names. For science enthusiasts, the International Science Festival runs from 6-21 April 2019. Events are held all over the city, from talks and discussions to workshops and educational sessions for kids. Also targeting the young and young at heart, is the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival which offers a range of art, dancing and performance, taking place between 25 May and 2 June. For adults with a taste for the finest malts, May is World Whisky month, so it’s perhaps the perfect time to head to a distillery, the Scottish Whisky Experience, or to one of Edinburgh’s many pubs for a wee dram.

Where To Stay In Edinburgh

With hotels, bed and breakfasts and even hostels becoming increasingly difficult to book, at specific times and for larger groups, more and more people are attracted to the flexibility, convenience and luxury of an Airbnb property. Many landlords can provide a holiday let management service with apartments, cottages or townhouses available at comparatively cheaper prices, which can often be booked a short time before arrival, with the minimum of fuss.
