Discussion New Year's Eve Celebrations in Edinburgh

We are thinking of celebrating New Year's Eve in Edinburgh this year, and I've heard it's quite the experience! Has anyone been there for Hogmanay? What should we definitely check out, and are there any tips for the best places to watch the fireworks? Also, how's the vibe with all the festivities? Any recommendations for food spots or events we shouldn't miss would be great!

Edinburgh's Hogmanay is legendary! The street party is a must—it’s lively, friendly, and full of energy. For the best fireworks view, head to Princes Street or Calton Hill. The vibe is electric, with live music and a real sense of community. Don’t miss the Torchlight Procession if you’re there early—it’s magical! For food, try The Witchery by the Castle for a cozy, atmospheric meal. Have you thought about where you’ll stay yet?
