Where to stay for rugby at Murrayfield
Scotland's home internationals are played at Murrayfield, on the west side of the city. Stay within walking distance, or on the tram line that stops at the stadium.
Check prices and availabilityWhen it is
Scotland's Six Nations home games are usually played in February and March, with autumn internationals in November. Check this year's fixtures.
What to expect
Murrayfield Stadium is west of Haymarket. On international days the roads around it close and the trams and buses are packed before and after the game, so the closer you stay, the easier the day.
The tram stops at Murrayfield Stadium and runs straight through Haymarket, Princes Street, the New Town and Leith, so you can stay further out and still get there without changing.
