- PLANE
- Edinburgh Airport is 13km west of the city centre and has direct flights to many European cities and to most other British cities. Getting into the city itself is a case of jumping on the Airlink Coach service, which takes just 20 minutes to get into the Edinburgh Bus Station. Alternatively you can take a taxi, but it is far more expensive.
- TRAIN
- Edinburgh´s main railway station is Waverley and is well connected to the rest of Scotland and to England. The GNER intercity direct from London King´s Cross to Edinburgh take just 4 hours, there are also overnight trains operated by ScotRail.
- BUS
- There are regular coach services to Edinburgh, most of which terminate in the plush new Edinburgh Bus Station on Saint Andrew´s Square in the heart of the city.
- FERRY
- Fancy spending 21 hours in the north sea? Why not take the ferry from Zeebrugge to Rosyth just north of Edinburgh.
- Public transport
- Basically this is simple, there are buses, buses or buses. There are two bus companies, First Edinburgh and Lothian Buses and most services leave from the Waverley Bridge - just above the main railway station, or from the Bus Station on St Andrew Square. Tickets are not interchangeable between companies and you pay the driver on boarding the bus.
- The only other ways of getting round the city are on foot, by bicycle or by taxi, but as the bus system pretty much has the city comprehensively covered there really is no need. If you do decide to use your bike, then the city has many clearly defined cycle paths, and the roads have a bike lane.
- Bringing a car into the centre can be more hassle than it is worth, but is useful for trips
outside Edinburgh.
