Edinburgh is an all year round destination but there are certain months of the year which may be more appealing depending on what activities you have planned for your trip.
Best time of year for sightseeing - Edinburgh is great for sightseeing all year round whether you choose the months of May through to September, as the days are longer and the temperatures are warmer, or are keen to experience Edinburgh's dramatic winters for a Christmas and New Year's break.
Holiday Extras Tip - Starting your break earlier or later than the peak summer or winter seasons could save you time, with shorter waiting lines and fewer tourists eager to see each attraction.
Best time of the year for warm weather - The warmest weather in Edinburgh tends to be in July and August, though rain can be expected at any time. However, if you're excited by the prospect of snow then pack your thickest Harris Tweed and head to the Scottish Capital during the winter months and revel in the awe-inspiring snow-capped views across this spectacular city.
