Visiting Edinburgh In Festival Season

(Tue Jul 13th, 2010, by Isla Campbell)

The Edinburgh International Festival, and other associated festivals taking place each August covering the entire spectrum of the arts, is a major draw for cultural tourists to Scotland's capital. With thousands of shows taking place throughout the day and night at venues across the city, Edinburgh becomes a haven for theatre, comedy and music lovers in the month of August - making it an ideal time to stop putting off trips to the city and experience the best Edinburgh has to offer beyond the Fringe. The capital of Scotland since 1437, Edinburgh is home to many of the country's most prestigious attractions - from historic Edinburgh Castle, which is still Scotland's most visited tourist destination, to modern attractions such as Our Dynamic Earth and Deep Sea World that aim to provide an insightful and entertaining experience for all the family. Many of Edinburgh's top attractions can be easily reached within the city centre, making sightseeing holidays a convenient option. Those visiting for the Edinburgh Festival can also find many of the largest dedicated venues within easy reach of these attractions, from the Assembly Rooms on centrally-located George Street to the Festival Theatre along the Bridges. Popular events such as the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo are hallmarks of the festival season, bringing performance styles from across the world into special events taking place right next to Edinburgh Castle. Those visiting at the climax of the festival can also see the sky come to life with dazzling fireworks displays, which can be the perfect send-off for Edinburgh flight. While it's true that the festival spirit takes over the city for the month of August, that doesn't mean it isn't business as usual for Edinburgh's popular year-round offerings. As a major international city, visitors can expect to find all manner of restaurants wherever they are staying in the city, as well as numerous shopping opportunities along Princes Street and in the St James Quarter. Hotel bookings are usually much more competitive during the month, however visitors should still find plenty of choice when looking for rooms suited to their budgets. Those who prefer a quieter and more reflective experience away from the vibrant street performances and crowds of the Royal Mile can also take a short trip out of the city centre to explore the 70 acres of Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens, a perfect way to enjoy the British summertime in one of the UK's greenest cities.

It was here in Kingston that pirates once ran wild; however today it is arts and culture that reign supreme.

Coming back to the activities you can do on the island, here are some options you can consider. You can start by visiting Hope Road and going by the number of attractions here, it could well be called Attractions Road.

If you are feeling a little more adventurous make your way to Wombeyan Caves. Although these caves can be accessed with a two wheel drive, the trek will be a little more bumpy as the roads are not quality.
