How to get from the airport to the city centre?

The airport is located approximately 13km/8mi away from the city centre and only has one terminal, but despite this is one of the busiest airports in the UK. The easiest and most hassle-free ways to get to the city centre from the airport are by taxi, bus or tram.

Taxi: A taxi can be a good option for passengers staying near the airport or for a large group. The black taxis (cabs) in Edinburgh accept up to 5 passengers and the price to the city centre is between £ 25 and £ 35, and the journey takes about 20 minutes.

Bus: You can find all the bus stops right outside the terminal. Tickets for the Airlink 100, taking you straight to the city centre (20min. journey), can be purchased from the driver as you board using contactless card payment or the exact cash fare. Other bus routes and companies will accept either online bookings or payment onboard using cash or contactless card payment.

Tram: Trams are one of the easiest ways and cheapest (£ 2) ways to get to and from the airport with fast and frequent services to the city centre. Trams depart every 7 minutes between 07:00 - 19:00 and every 15 minutes out-with these hours, with an end-to-end journey of just 30 minutes.
