Edinburgh Christmas Markets - An intensely vibrant shopping experience
Chilly Edinburgh always offers a heart warming festive welcome to visitors and this Christmas promises to be no different. It is a stylish shoppers haven which sparks to life in spectacular fashion at Yuletide with bargains galore at many seasonal markets. Edinburgh Christmas markets are renowned for their character and atmosphere. There is nowhere better to start than at the German traditional market in the Mound. Merry bands and the tempting smells of grilled bratwurst will be hard to resist in between browsing authentic German handicrafts and handmade toys and decorations.
Edinburgh Christmas Markets - Great traditional gifts
The famous farmers' market at Castle Terrace is gastronomic heaven for many people with stalls crammed with quality foodstuffs like prime cuts of venison, smoked salmon and delicious shortbread. This most mouth watering of Edinburgh Christmas markets is an intensely vibrant place with festive attractions such as street performers and a fun fair. Nowhere is more quintessentially Scottish in flavour than the ever popular Highland Village market which offers a nostalgic trip back in time to the days of the rural cottage industry. Browse for traditional tartan, pewter, pottery and basket ware and enjoy folk music and craft demonstrations.
Edinburgh Christmas Markets - Magical family attractions
With so many great shopping options at Edinburgh Christmas markets you could be forgiven for ignoring all the enchanting attractions on offer. Take time out from the retail frenzy to visit Winter Wonderland for a turn on the huge festive ferris wheel which is beautifully illuminated after dark. Ice skating, carol concerts and the charming reindeer gardens provide fabulous fun for kids and the great Santa run is an Edinburgh tradition not to be missed. The shopping frenzy starts early in Edinburgh and lasts right up to Christmas Eve so there is no excuse, why not book a city break to Edinburgh to join in the fun and grab a bargain or two!
