Choosing The Best Time To Visit Edinburgh

As the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is a popular choice for travellers looking for a scenic and beautiful Scottish trip. With iconic landmarks such as the Scott Monument and Edinburgh Castle as well as its cobbled streets, Edinburgh is picture-book pretty and an ideal choice for anyone hoping to immerse themselves in an excellent sightseeing experience. However, there's more to the city than shortbread and bagpipers, and if you time your holiday right, you can enjoy some of the country's most spectacular cultural events.

If it's spectacle you're after, there are two clear times of year to choose a break to Edinburgh - summer and winter. The capital city is an ideal place to spend the festive season, as it prides itself in creating lovely Christmas light displays and its New Year celebrations are world-renowned. Every Hogmanay, Edinburgh takes to the streets for a lively street party. Packed with bands, DJs and live entertainers as well as an always-impressive fireworks display, this is the perfect time to find out just how friendly Scottish people can be.

In the run up to Christmas, you'll also find that Edinburgh is home to a popular German market and that its many theatres are packed with festive treats - from ballet to musicals. The festive season also sees Princes Street Gardens transformed with an ice skating rink and a selection of winter entertainments. However, if you prefer to holiday during the warmer months, you'll be glad to know Edinburgh thrives during the summer too.

Book your trip to coincide with the Edinburgh International Festival and you'll find yourself at the centre of a creative whirlwind. Taking place during August every year, this event welcomes theatre, comedy and dance performances from all around the world, resulting in a heady mix of people and a wonderful atmosphere. From shows featuring the world's top names in theatre to a walk down the Royal Mile - where you'll find a plethora of street performers peddling their wares for free or a small donation - you'll never be short of a memorable experience in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh's festival season is not confined to theatre however, you'll also find film, jazz and comedy festivals running during the summer months - some crossing over with the EIF some holding themselves separate. No matter what cultural activities best suit your style, you're sure to find some to suit when booking Edinburgh flights for the summer or winter months.

I'm an ice skater wanting to take up dance, but what kind? tap, ballet or jazz?

I want to do dance to strengthen my skating but i'm not sure whether to do tap, ballet or jazz. I want it to be fun but also challenging. I'm not very flexible and i considered taking yoga but i think dance might be better.
sorry, i forgot to add i havent been skating for a long time, and i'm not too flexible, i play volleyball too but only in the fall.

you should do ballet because ballet and ice skating share a lot of the same moves! ballet dancers are very strong plus its a lot of fun!!! ballet is the core of every dance and was one of the first dances invented!! its really challenging and you have to know what your doing, but since you already skate that shouldnt be very hard!!
