Christmas is approaching fast, the lights have been switched on and Christmas Shopping has begun. This time of the year is beautiful; however visiting Edinburgh in January and February has a lot of advantages.
Enjoy some shopping madness!
Everybody loves a bargain and being in Edinburgh in January is a great time to take advantage of the sales. The sales start on Boxing Day and attract and abundance of people, however in January things start calming down and the prices continue to drop.
Whether you want high end boutiques, high street brands or the newest collections, Edinburgh has it all. Have a look at some of Edinburgh’s hidden gems here.
Our West End apartments are ideally located to make the most out of your shopping trip, so make sure you book now!
Take a stroll to the museum
Edinburgh is full of museums and galleries, the most famous ones including the National Museum and the National Art Galleries. Both of these are very easily accessed and as an added bonus they are free and will keep the entire family entertained. Our Penthouse @ The Royal Mile, The Old Chapel @ George Square and The Panoramic Penthouse @ Quartermile are ideally located within a few minutes’ walk to a lot of museums.

Spend a traditional Scottish Burns Night
Burn’s Night takes place on the 25th January; every year restaurants bring out exciting menus to honour one of Scotland’s greatest poets. In addition 2015 is the Year of Food and Drink, so there will be additional events for all foodies out there throughout the year. (Keep an eye out for our monthly Foodie Blogs to follow).
Save some money
January and February are considered low seasons in Edinburgh, so you will save significantly by booking mid-week stays this winter. This way you can spend more money going shopping and going for nice dinners.
