Arrival
Edinburgh airport has a faclity of direct flight from many countries like England, Wales, Ireland, USA, Canada, Scandinavia and several countries in western and central Europe. From the rest of the world you will probably have to fly into a major European hub and catch a connecting flight - London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris have the best connections with Edinburgh.From Edinburgh airport, the Airlink bus makes the trip to the city center about every 10 minutes during peak times, terminating at Waverley Bridge near the central railway station.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. Edinburgh Airport is 8mi (13km) west of the city centre.The trains which link London to Edinburgh (via Newcastle) on the so-called East Coast Main Line are reasonably fast, efficient, and generally relaxing with restaurant and bar service as well as air-conditioning. Taxi and bus connections are easily made at Waverley Station, which also serves Glasgow with a shuttle service every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in the evening until about 11:30pm. The journey from London to Edinburgh by bus can take up to 10 hours. Buses are the cheapest.
