The city: Getting to Edinburgh
Posted on Sunday, September 19 @ 07:08:59 PDT by poster
Edinburgh's international airport has frequent direct flights to Europe, Ireland and other parts of the UK and a limited number of services to Africa, the Middle East and Asia. There are no direct air services from North America.
Travelling from Europe you'll often be best off flying to London, then taking the train or bus north. The 4-hour centre-to-centre rail trip takes only about an hour more than flying in actual travelling time.
Buses are the cheapest and most exhausting method of transport for travel to/from Europe or other parts of the UK, although discount rail tickets are competitive.
