Winter
December transforms Edinburgh into a winter wonderland, filled with festive celebrations, artistic performances and seasonal markets. What better way to celebrate than to visit Edinburgh's Hogmanay - perhaps the most famous New Year's Eve celebration in the world? The festival includes a Hogmanay street party that sees tens of thousands of revellers gather along Princes Street, a torchlight procession through the city and the Concert in the Gardens.
