Edinburgh in winter – 15 things to do in Edinburgh for culture lovers

Edinburgh is a fantastic city break destination at any time of year, although the guidebooks often tell you to visit in summer for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival or at New Year for Hogmanay. But let’s face it, Scotland’s capital is packed at those times, so if you’d like to enjoy all the top sights and world class culture, but have them pretty much to yourself, I can recommend Edinburgh in winter for a short break. I visited for a couple of days in January and found a fantastic range of things to do in Edinburgh, from art galleries and theatre, to photogenic architecture and scenic views of the castle.
