View from Princes Street Gardens
With fewer than 500,000 residents, Edinburgh is not a huge city but between the architecture, history, gorgeous views and, of course, the whisky, there’s plenty on offer for visitors to enjoy. The obvious time to go to Edinburgh is summer, when temps max out at around 65°F (18°C), and hundreds of thousands of visitors descend on the town for the annual Fringe Festival, “the largest arts festival in the world,” which takes place over three weeks every August. Instead, my husband and I visited the city during Halloween and were rewarded with a laid-back, beautiful autumn weekend.
