En route to Edinburgh
A direct flight from Nice to Edinburgh will take you to a place that’s as famous as it is unknown: Scotland. What do we know about the most northern people of the British Isles? That they wear kilts, play bagpipes, make excellent whisky and live in haunted castles. Folklore that will certainly heighten your travels over this Celtic land. But as your Nice-Edinburgh flight lands, you’ll quickly discover that the former realm of Mary Stuart has so much more to offer. So, let’s go

Ready to go? Do you already have your Nice-Edinburgh plane ticket with you and are travelling with cabin baggage only? Perfect.

Once your plane lands at Edinburgh Airport, you’ll be just a few kilometres from the city centre: 13, to be exact. To make this journey, you have the following options:
- Take the bus: it’s the most affordable way to get there. Go to Stop D in front of the Arrivals Terminal to take the Airlink bus. There’s a bus every 15 minutes day and night that will take you to Waverley Station, the main station in Edinburgh. The journey takes at least 40 minutes. Note that if you’ll be staying in the old city, you can also take Line 35, which stops in front of Edinburgh Park and the University.
- Take the tramway: it’s faster than the bus, taking around 30 minutes. And not much more expensive. It runs from 5 am to midnight.
- Take a taxi: this will cost around £20 minimum but will drop you right at your accommodation in less than half an hour.
- Hire a car: a sensible solution if you’d like to visit the Scottish countryside. There are 8 different agencies available in the Car Rental Centre located opposite the Arrivals Terminal.
What to do in
Edimbourg ?
“Where Scotland Meets the World.” The slogan at Edinburgh Airport says it all: the Scottish capital is often just the starting point for exploring the entire country. And Scotland is a country with a lot to offer: scenery, monuments, legends, and alluring traditions. But single malts from the Highlands and the Loch Ness Monster can wait a few days, can’t they? Because you’ll need some time to explore Harry Potter’s hometown. Wait, didn't you know? It was in Edinburgh cafés like The Spoon and The Elephant House that J.K. Rowling wrote the first of the young wizard’s adventures.
