It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and if you’re planning a festive trip to the UK, chances are you’re debating between London and Edinburgh. Both cities deck themselves out in lights and cheer for the holiday season, but they offer very different vibes. So which one is better for you?

Draped in gold and crimson, the already enchanting city comes alive at Halloween. As the crisp fall air nips at your cheeks, there’s an unmistakable shift in the atmosphere – the veil between this world and the next grows thin. Mist clings to the spires of the gothic architecture and a sense of mystery lingers in every shadow. Ghosts from the city’s haunted past lay waiting to be discovered. It’s like Edinburgh was made for Halloween.
