| Comment | Ordinarily, I'd say it wouldn't make much difference to your trip. You're maybe a little more likely to experience miserable cold/rainy weather than other months, but the city isn't "seasonal" in the way many mainland European cities can be. Bars, restaurants, museums, events, all go on as normal all through the year. There's normally the Celtic Connections music festival happening in late Jan - early Feb (I expect cancelled in 2021).
This is said of course with the massive massive caveat that we're probably heading for a big lockdown over winter anyway. So this winter is probably a bad time to plan a trip. Everything being normal though (which it's not) January wouldn't be a bad time to visit in itself. |
