Christmas is coming, and where better to celebrate the Holidays than in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland? The Christmas festivities are wide and varied but the holiday season is kicked off with the 
traditional switching on of Edinburgh's Christmas lights on Nov. 22, 2007. From then on in it is nothing but fun, fun, fun.
The good news is, Edinburgh is so easy to get to. You can arrive by plane, train or car. If you decide to travel by air you just need to fly into Edinburgh International Airport. The airport is close to the city of Edinburgh which can be reached by a short bus or taxi ride or, if you prefer the freedom, hire a care from the many car hire firms at the airport or around the City itself.
Travel by train is another option and you just need the East Coast line which is operated by GNER and is the fasted inter-city railway in Britain, connecting Edinburgh's Waverley station with London and Europe.
Needless to say as in any large city Edinburgh gets rather packed during the festive season but fortunately there is a huge and varied choice of accommodation where you can comfortably lay your head after a day of fun filled festivities. Whether your preference is for a cozy country bed and breakfast or a designer hotel there will be something for you. But take time to visit www.VisitScotland.com as you will find on this site an extensive range of accommadation to suit all tastes and all budgets.
You have now arrived safely and have checked into your accommodation, what can you do and see? Well, on 24th November outside the Ocean Terminal shopping center you can see that famous Christmas poem 'Twas the night before Christmas' performed in a very unique way. The performance is an aerial re-enactment with airborne fairies, flying toys and of course Santa. There is also a 16 piece live band who will close with a rousing carol concert and the grand finale will be a superb firework display.
The youngsters of the family will love a visit with the most magical Santa ever and he can be found on 16th December at Scotland's most famous castle, Edinburgh Castle.
