Airport transfers
Edinburgh airport transfers
Scotland's capital is a city divided by a valley: the Old Town climbing to the castle on its rock on the south side, the New Town's Georgian terraces to the north. Edinburgh Airport is west of the city, past the bypass, and the hotels listed here are in the centre and around it. Visitors arrive for the festivals in August, for Hogmanay, for business at the parliament and the universities, and the routes on this page run from the airport into the city for all of them.

Getting around Edinburgh
The drive from the airport follows the main road east into the city, arriving at the West End before the centre proper. The Old Town's streets are steep, narrow and in places closed to traffic, so a hotel on or just off the Royal Mile may involve a short walk from where the car can stop; New Town hotels on wide streets are simpler. Check the hotel's address against a map before you set the pickup. A private car is worth having in Edinburgh for families with cases and a pushchair, for arrivals late at night, for anybody with golf clubs bound for the Lothians, and during the festival weeks when the city fills and the centre is crowded. A single traveller with a cabin bag may well make their own way. The weather is another factor; a wet arrival makes the car at the kerb easy to justify. On the Edinburgh Airport to Edinburgh route, the flight number, pickup time and passengers you enter decide which vehicles are shown, each with its journey estimate. Hotels in Edinburgh and United Kingdom eSIM plans are listed below on the same page.
