The city hosts major events throughout the year, from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Hogmanay to international rugby at Murrayfield. Its nightlife ranges from traditional pubs and live music venues to cocktail bars and clubs, while excellent bus, tram and rail connections make travelling around the city straightforward.
It is a city where university life, culture, entertainment and everyday convenience come together.
