Edinburgh is now really on the map as the go to destination for Christmas holidays in the UK.
According to holiday lettings.co.uk the city is the most popular with only Aviemore the other Scottish destination in the top ten.
The holiday website is owned by TripAdvisor and it shows that some people want to get away to the coast even in the depths of winter, with Newquay in Cornwall one of the other popular destinations. We spent a lovely couple of days at the Headland Hotel in Newquay earlier in the year.
Saskia Welman, spokesperson for holidaylettings.co.uk, said that travellers are choosing a mix of big cities and smaller towns for their festive break.
“We’re not surprised to see Edinburgh take the top spot on this list, because it offers so many exciting attractions dedicated to celebrating and spreading the holiday spirit,” Saskia said.
“But it’s interesting to see Aviemore appear alongside major hubs like London and destinations with crowd-pleasing Christmas festivals like York and Padstow.”
You might also consider letting your home this Christmas so that you can get away. TripAdvisor has a site for that too.
