It is not difficult to understand how local boy Robert Louis Stevenson came to write Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, growing up as he did in a city of such extraordinary variety. From the history-soaked medieval tenements, vennels and wynds of the Old Town to the sweeping elegance of the Georgian New Town, Edinburgh deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful and compelling cities in the world.
Easy to get around by bus (and, new this summer, by tram), Edinburgh is built on a human scale. This is a city that repays close inspection and the best way to get to know it is on foot. There are amazing views, hidden courtyards, secret gardens and stunning architectural details to be discovered almost everywhere you look.
Think of Edinburgh and the words ‘International Festival’ and ‘Fringe’ come to mind, but it has much more to offer than just history, architecture and the arts. It is an increasingly cosmopolitan city too, with five Michelin-starred restaurants, a rapidly growing bar/cafe culture, vibrant nightlife and a varied and accessible arts scene. You will also find plenty of the independent shops, boutiques and small galleries that make browsing an addictive pleasure — sometimes in the most unexpected places.
Because Edinburgh is so compact, it is not just the city centre that is easy to explore. Try exploring a little further: to Leith or the ‘villages’ of Stockbridge, Morningside, Duddingston and Cramond, each with its own distinctive personality and attractions. There are surprising country walks in the city too, on Arthur’s Seat, along the Water of Leith and in the Blackford and Braid Hills.
With all this and now a festival in almost every month of the year, it really is always a good time to come to Edinburgh.
Edinburgh’s population is said to double in August, while Edinburgh’s Hogmanay (New Year) feels nearly as crowded with its celebrations, fairs, bright lights and street party. But really, there is no truly quiet season for Edinburgh. Just remember, you do not come to Edinburgh for the weather, so think like a boy scout and be prepared. Autumn and winter are my favourite times of year, the cold clear light highlighting the austerely beautiful architecture and the shorter days making all those pubs with cosy fires even more appealing. A bright and breezy spring day is delightful as the blossom rushes out in all the parks and squares and the city seems to sparkle. It is also a good time to visit with children as the International Science Fair and Imaginate Festival are on. Summer is always busy in the build-up to the Festival frenzy of August, but walking down the Mound in the never-ending twilight of a late summer’s evening is a bit of magic everyone should experience at least once.
The summer season of festivals starts in June with the International Film Festival (18-29 June), followed by the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival (18-27 July). But August is the month when it really all kicks off, with the Edinburgh Art Festival (31 July-31 August), Edinburgh Festival Fringe (1-25 August), Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (1-23 August), Edinburgh International Festival (8-31 August), Edinburgh International Book Festival (9-25 August) and the Edinburgh Mela (29-31 August). Programmes are usually available 6-8 weeks in advance, although tickets for the Military Tattoo go on sale in early December each year and the programme for the Edinburgh International Festival will be published in early March, with the Fringe programme appearing later in the spring. The Edinburgh Festivals website (edinburghfestivals.co.uk) is a good starting point for information about all the Edinburgh festivals.
