Summertime in the city

Edinburgh is a fantastic city to visit all year round, and in summer it is particularly busy with residents and visitors coming together to experience something very special.

This summer, along with our vibrant festivals, we’re also proud to be hosting two music legends at Murrayfield and headline shows at the Royal Highland Centre's Summer Sessions.

With so many more people enjoying the city it’s important that you plan ahead to get the most from your trip.

We’ve put together some handy advice to help everyone, Edinburgh's citizens, visitors, festival-goers and music lovers, make the most of our wonderful city.
