Familes and Leisure

Great value Edinburgh city breaks and leisure deals

Edinburgh City breaks and family leisure breaks will have you reeling in delight. Discover the history behind the city, experience the numerous festivals and theatre productions and take in some of the world's most stunning landscapes.

Home to over 450,000 people, enough history to suit any scholar, enough culture to host the largest music festival in Britain and a variety of restaurants, pubs ands nightlife to please every budget and taste. The city easily blends chic business suits with dreadlocked vegans for a mini metropolis that is old, new, adventurous and staid, a mix that guarantees city breaks to Edinburgh will leave visitors begging for more.

Every August Edinburgh commands the attention of approximately 1 million people who arrive for the city's multitude of festivals. The Edinburgh International Festival draws approximately 400,000 people every year. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival pulls in about 300,000. Accommodation is usually at a premium (and premium price too!), and the city is packed and bustling, so August is best avoided if you want Edinburgh city breaks at a more leisurely pace!
