Edinburgh, Festival City, is home to the Scottish Parliament, numerous universities, colleges, museums, art galleries and theatres. Edinburgh has approximately 471,000 residents, with over one million visitors each year.

In the 18th Century, Edinburgh was one of the European centres of the Age of Enlightenment, earning it the nickname Athens of the North.

Today Edinburgh is famous for many things in particular our International Festivals which run throughout the Summer every year, notably the the Edinburgh International Festival which started in 1947. Closely followed by the Fringe, which began with just eight unofficial independent acts who were uninvited to the Edinburgh International Festival and is now the largest arts festival in the whole world! There are now officially twelve annual festivals in Edinburgh, including the International Book Festival, the Mela and International Film Festival. You can find out more about our festivals here.
