Exploring Edinburgh at Christmas

Choosing Edinburgh for a winter city break to celebrate my 25th birthday was an easy decision.
Having found low-cost easyJet flights, and booking the days between Christmas and New Year off work, it seemed like the perfect time to take a short flight north and embark on a festive Scottish adventure.
Checking into Point A Hotel on arrival, we immediately ventured out into the harsh winter weather to explore. That said, there’s something magical about Scotland in the colder months.
As everything ‘Christmas’ was wrapping up, the city was busy gearing up for its NYE Hogmanay celebrations (an event we missed due to other commitments, which I still kick myself for).
Like most city breaks, I walked more than I anticipated and loved every minute of it. But what I enjoyed even more was the food, especially a spot called Ting Thai Caravan, and the epic secret bars that are tucked away underground.
I’m sure there’s plenty left to discover along those cobbled streets and winding roads, so I hope to head back to Edinburgh one day soon.
