Edinburgh Fringe named UK’s best experience
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has been named the UK’s top experience by Lonely Planet.
The annual event topped the 500 most memorable things to do in Lonely Planet’s Ultimate United Kingdom Travelist.
The list said: "The Fringe floods the city with art and nowhere beats it for spectacle or scale… There is theatre, comedy, dance, circus, cabaret, opera, music and spoken word, and whatever the time of day, an acrobat, trapeze artist, contortionist or tried-and-tested bagpiping busker will be pleased to entertain you… Simply step through the looking glass and prepare to be dazzled by the greatest show of arts and culture on Earth."
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is followed by the British Museum and Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland in third place
