Edinburgh Nights Out
On any given night there’s enough happening to fill the
event calendars of other major cities for a year, especially during
the summer festival season. An extensive programme of
year round events incorporates live performance, street theatre,
playwrights, musicals, international opera and ballet productions
and classical drama.
From comedy revues to ceilidhs (a traditional Scottish dance),
modern dance to mainstream club nights, the city has something for
everyone.
Take an evening ghost tour through the streets of Edinburgh’s
Old Town. Explore the city’s historic underground vaults by
candlelight and see the unaltered conditions in which people once
lived and worked.
Sample Edinburgh’s award-winning restaurants. The city has more restaurants per
head than any UK city and a wide range of cosmopolitan and
traditional bars.
Settle into an oak panelled booth in a traditional Victorian
pub in Rose Street or Stockbridge. Savour
classic cocktails in the city’s many modern bars or retire to a
gastro pub for the evening.
Explore Edinburgh’s waterfront and the views back toward
the city on a jazz cruise along the River Forth on a summer’s
night. Or relax in one of the many sophisticated bars and
restaurants along The Shore.
