What's on around Edinburgh in September?
September is often a good time to explore Edinburgh. The streets are much quieter and you can get a better locals' perspective without the Festival fanfare. Make the most of the exhibitions and chances to see beyond the (usually closed) doors during Doors Open Day.

Doors Open Day gives access to hidden architectural gems in locations throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians.
