| The ‘Light Nights’ is a major attraction in which all the Christmas decorations and lights in the City Center get switched on by late November, unfolding an unforgettable sight. The decorations at the City Center include illuminations at Princes Street, East Princes
Street Gardens, Christmas tree on the Mound, George Street, Royal Mile and Grassmarket.
Besides City Center, the other worth mentioning light displays are at Corstorphine Christmas Tree Lights, Gorgie/Dalry Christmas Lights, Grassmarket Christmas Tree Lights, and Morningside Christmas Lights.
The elaborately decorated streets and shopping malls are suffused with festive air. A stroll in Paris Street, housing brands like ‘Jenners', ‘Marks' and ‘Spencer', and ‘The Gap' or a trip to George Street and Rose Street popular for the eating joints and pubs, lets you experience the traditional and cosmopolitan blend of the city.
A tour to the two-storey Prince Mall, home to a number of entertainment and fashion stores is another exciting not to be missed option.
The other Christmas attractions are the Edinburgh Wheel, and Winter Wonderland. We bet your adrenalin will go rushing on Edinburgh Wheel while the Winter Wonderland will help you in soaking the festive spirit with its spectacular festive lights.
The Christmas ambience is further warmed up with concerts and carols held in different parts of the city.
Edinburgh is indeed a jolly good spot to make the Christmas celebrations truly special.
