Christmas Market in Edinburgh

Experience Scotland's premier festive celebration in Edinburgh – artisan chalets and the Big Wheel in Princes Street Gardens beneath the Castle.

Escape to Scotland's captivating capital for the world-famous Edinburgh's Christmas celebrations. Nestled in East Princes Street Gardens directly beneath the dramatic silhouette of Edinburgh Castle, the traditional Christmas market offers a magical festive experience.

Soar high above the city on the illuminated Big Wheel, glide around the alpine ice rink on George Street, and browse unique Scottish tartan gifts, artisan crafts, and warming mulled cider and hot toddies.
