(you might even have difficulties walking on the streets because of so many people! Of course, I\u2019m a bit exaggerating, but generally, it\u2019s true). So here are things you need to know before coming to Edinburgh Festivals!<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"8211_Book_your_accommodation_for_Edinburgh_Festivals_in_advance\"><strong>&#8211; Book your accommodation for Edinburgh Festivals in advance!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s still 4 months before the festivals but <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?city=-2595386&amp;aid=887305&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;room1=A%2CA\">89% of properties in Edinburgh<\/a><\/strong> are already fully booked. So you need to book a hotel at least in January if you want to get a nice price and a hotel in a good location.<\/p>\n<p>If you have enough time before the festivals, check out these <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/tripsget.com\/2017\/05\/10-best-affordable-hotels-in-edinburgh\/\" target=\"_blank\">amazing affordable hotels in Edinburgh<\/a><\/strong>, which I described in a separate post.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other options e.g. flat share &amp; short term university accommodation rentals.

(That doesn\u2019t affect huge chains like Starbucks and McDonalds and big supermarkets). Just an example from everyday life: the Bratwurst Stalls in front of the University of Edinburgh was always selling the small Bratwurst for \u00a33.75 (I was their loyal customer all year long), but during the festivals, they have increased their price to 4+ pounds (As far as I remember, around 4.5 pounds).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1495\/26325039936_928279ae00_b.jpg\" alt=\"Edinburgh Festivals start in August: everything you need to know about Edinburgh Festivals\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Royal Mile during Edinburgh Festivals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"8211_You_can_visit_some_plays_for_free_if_you_arrive_early\"><strong>&#8211; You can visit some plays for free if you arrive early<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s worth visiting Edinburgh Festivals 1-3 days before their official start. Why? Because you can visit some of the most popular performances for free! Usually, they have 1-2-3 rehearsals before they start changing money for their plays, and giving out tickets for free! How to get those tickets? Just check online, when the rehearsals are (don\u2019t buy tickets online! It\u2019s almost never written on the website that some tickets will be given away for free) and go to the Pleasance or George Square (or even Cowgate) on that day (preferably around 5-6pm) and listen to the Festival volunteers carefully or just ask them about free tickets.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1660\/25746129744_7f21670609_b.jpg\" alt=\"Edinburgh Festivals start in August: everything you need to know about Edinburgh Festivals\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Before Les Miserables performance on St. Andrews Square<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"8211_Check_the_reviews_for_the_paid_performances\"><strong>&#8211; Check the reviews for the paid performances<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Because you might end up paying a lot for something you won\u2019t enjoy. Usually, there are plenty of reviews available online, so better check that before buying the tickets.

While Edinburgh International Festival is all about art and culture: ballet, opera, orchestral music and theatre plays, where only professionals perform, Edinburgh Fringe Festival is more informal. It mostly consists of comedy shows run by amateurs.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1014px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1672\/26325036966_c80acc5b5c_b.jpg\" alt=\"Edinburgh Festivals start in August: everything you need to know about Edinburgh Festivals\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Watching the Marriage of Figaro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>However, in Edinburgh, there are 7 main festivals (not just EIF and Fringe).
