Edinburgh Venues

Edinburgh, often called Europe's festival capital, offers the perfect conference venue. Not only is it an important international centre for business and finance, it has one of the most beautiful cityscapes in the world. In fact, part of the city centre has achieved UNESCO World Heritage Site status; recognising the significance of the medieval Old Town and the Georgian New Town and stunning modern architecture.

This city’s got world-class hotels and venues and an international airport just eight miles from the city. Plus excellent transport links and a compact city centre. It's not surprising that Edinburgh is regarded as one of the world's most popular UK conference centres just after London. Business events and conferences are held year round in Edinburgh, attracting lots of delegates to high level business meetings, educational events, product launches, and training seminars.

If you need diversions for your delegates, there’s always something happening in the city. Attractions include international standard museums and galleries, quality shopping, open-top bus tours, festival events and impressive restaurants and bar life. Edinburgh and the Lothians offer some of Scotland's best golfing regions including the historic Musselburgh Links. And if you’d like to treat your delegates to some stunning Scottish landscapes, then it’s easy to organise a trip to the Borders or Highlands.
