Edinburgh Christmas Market – 14 November to 3 January 2027
NUSU Visit on 28 November (£44) | 10:00-22:00 daily | Free
If you are chasing that Christmas feeling across multiple cities, Edinburgh is one I would definitely recommend.
Although I love our very own cosy Toon Christmas Market, the scale and variety further up north brings a different perspective on what the season can be like.
With several rides, seemingly endless stalls and a panoramic view of Edinburgh Castle in the background, a trip there is definitely on my wish list this year.
Luckily Lundgren Tours is going on the 28 November to give a tour of not just the market, but the historical city in its full beauty, so grab tickets while they’re still available!
