Hogmanay is Edinburgh’s famous New Year’s celebration, when the entire city becomes one huge party. In fact, it is so popular that entry to the city is open only to those with advance tickets. Over the years the organisation of Hogmanay has become increasingly professional, and a slick festival-style event, attracting major international musicians and bands who perform in the castle or the city’s botanical gardens. Visitors are well advised to book tickets and accommodation beforehand, due to the sheer size of this event.
