The Edinburgh Doors Open Day 2020 gives you the chance to discover some of Edinburgh’s most unique and interesting buildings, which are normally closed to the public.
Across the weekend you can discover some fantastic sites across the city, completely free of charge and from the warmth of your own home – as this year’s event goes digital!
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year, this is your chance to explore some of Edinburgh’s most important buildings virtually. Many venues will offer behind the scenes tours, talks or exhibitions to bring the history of these monumental buildings to life.
Read about all of these places and more on the Doors Open Days website.
