In East Princes Street Gardens you can enjoy traditional markets, complete with incredible food and drink, rides and attractions, including the Forth 1 Big Wheel, where you’ll get dazzling views of the city.

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to see Santa, so head down to Castle Street to meet the man himself, listen to a magical story and receive a wee gift.

Add to the fun with a ride on the Helter Skelter and then warm up with some delicious mulled wine or hot chocolate from the bar below. Santa will be on Castle St until Christmas Eve.

New for 2019 is Community Christmas. Edinburgh’s Christmas magic will be heading to twelve locations over twelve nights around Edinburgh, bringing a building to life in each locality for one night only with winter projections accompanied by local choirs performing some of their best-loved festive tunes for their local community.

Starry night: You can get close to the stars at the markets

Edinburgh’s Christmas is spreading the festive cheer from until Saturday, January 4, so head to  Edinburgh Christmas  and book to beat the queues.

Plus, EH postcode holders can get 20 per cent off rides and attractions.
