Itinerary
Day 1: Edinburgh, Scotland
Join your Trip Leader and fellow Hogmanay punters and enjoy a festive introduction to this fabulous city at the annual Torchlight Procession. Duck and weave with your torch in tow and marvel at the river of fire as it snakes down the main streets of Edinburgh.
Day 2: Edinburgh
The countdown begins. We'll kick off with a tour of the top sites to whet your appetite. Then, we've got you covered with tickets to the main event: an epic street party tonight to ring in the New Year. Expect stages of traditional, alternative and party music with a firework display to rival all firework displays. Edinburgh Castle provides the backdrop to this one. #epic Happy Hogmanay!
Day 3: Edinburgh
Wipe the glitter from your eyes and start the New Year off right with a free day exploring the picturesque capital. Indulge in a post-party breakfast and then walk it off as you discover Edinburgh's medieval Old Town, elegant Georgian New Town, gardens and neoclassical buildings. If you're up for round two, tonight calls for an optional pub crawl. Serious partygoers only.
Day 4: Edinburgh
Say tioraidh ma-tha (see ya) to new found friends after breakfast. We're outta here but the city's yours for the taking if you're keen to stick around.
