📖

Full description

The Traverse Theatre has championed new theatre writing in Edinburgh since 1963, and it still centres on contemporary productions across two main theatres. Reviewers mention comfortable seats, clear sightlines to the stage and a welcoming staff, with a bar and cafe for drinks and snacks before or after the show.

It also hosts music nights and the annual Trav Fest each August, which regular visitors look forward to. It suits culture-minded visitors who want something more experimental than the city's big touring houses, and shows should be booked in advance.
