When to visit Edinburgh with your campervan hire

Edinburgh is a city that has something for everyone, no matter what time of year you take a road trip or stay with your motorhome, campervan or static caravan hire. In the summer, the days are long and the weather is warm, making it the perfect time to explore the city's many parks and gardens. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival also takes place in August, so there's always something going on.

If you're looking for a quieter break, autumn is a great time to visit Edinburgh. The leaves are turning red and gold, and there's a lovely chill in the air. Plus, you can take advantage of the shorter queues at tourist attractions! 

Winter is also a great time to be in Edinburgh. The city comes alive with Christmas markets and lights, and you can enjoy a warming dram of whisky by the fireplace. So whatever time of year you choose to visit Edinburgh, you're sure to have a magical holiday.
