How to Find Us

All events at the Edinburgh International Book Festival take place in Charlotte Square Gardens, a beautiful Georgian Square just off the West end of Princes Street in the centre of Edinburgh. You can't miss it. Entry to the Gardens is free - please pop in, we'd love to see you.

Everything is in easy reach - Princes Street is a two minute walk away, Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, Waverley train station, Edinburgh bus station and many more key locations are within close walking distance.
