In every season, Edinburgh is a sight to behold. There are eight reasons, though, why you should visit Edinburgh in the summer. Explore Edinburgh’s fantastic summertime offerings by reading on.
1. Avoid the public
The only line you’ll have to wait in this summer is for the beer gardens, and we’ve never seen the city so deserted. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shoot images of deserted streets and Edinburgh’s famed sites.
2. Arthur’s Seat with sunrise upon it
It is genuine magic in every way. There isn’t much more to say; simply set your alarm at 4 am (yes, I know it seems a little terrifying, but trust me, it’s worth it), put on your comfortable shoes, and start off!
3. Enjoy the purported Scottish summer
Although our climate may not be the best in the world, we certainly know how to enjoy sunny days with the various outdoor activities Edinburgh has to offer.
4. Food market in the open
In Stockbridge, it is about to start. With all social-distancing laws in place, get a coffee and take in Edinburgh’s culinary offerings.
5. Walks around the city
They are everything to us. Get a cup of coffee from our cafe, then venture off to explore the magnificent city of Edinburgh, where there is always something spectacular around the corner.
6. Sunrise beverages
Go to Leith Walk, order your G&T in a plastic cup, and take in the incredible local ambience of our lovely city.
7. We have it all, including the sea, mountains, rivers and canals
Due to the fact that you may enjoy both beach sunbathing and National Park hiking in Edinburgh, it is a unique summer vacation. The possibilities are endless!
8. Summer sunsets are a must-see
They simply remain in the memory. When it comes to spectacular sunsets, Edinburgh really knows how to put on a show. Pack a picnic, walk to Calton Hill, and get ready for the spectacle.
