Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a fantastic city for tourists. During the month of August, the number of tourists always increases quickly. They come to enjoy the Edinburgh Festival.

The Edinburgh Festival is an amazing time to visit the city. For around four weeks, the city has lots of arts and cultural festivals. Artists and performers come to show their talents. There are shows for children, young people and adults. There are shows for people of all tastes: dance shows, music concerts, photography and art exhibitions , plays and more.

Whatever you like you can find something to see. And at whatever time of day, you can watch what you want: the first shows start at 9 a. m. , and the last finish at around 2 a. m. Some shows at the festival can be a little expensive but many are very cheap, and lots are completely free.

For those who cannot decide what to see, there are lots of shows on the Royal Mile. It’s Edinburgh’s main street for tourists. There are always singers, actors and musicians offering free shows to the crowds.

Thousands of tourists from all over the world go to the Edinburgh Festival. The festival also attracts many performers. So you can meet many interesting people. For many performers, the Edinburgh Festival can be the start of their career (职业生涯). For example, actor Rowan Atkinson (most well- known for playing Mr. Bean) began his career at the Edinburgh Festival.

Edinburgh is a great and fun city to visit all year round. However, if you plan to visit it, the city is at its best in August.
