Travel and accommodation

Plan your trip to our undergraduate Open Days.

Edinburgh Waverley train station and Edinburgh Bus Station are within walking distance of our Central campus, but buses and taxis are available, too.

Edinburgh International Airport is about 12km from the city centre. You can get to the city centre in 30 minutes by using the frequent airport bus or tram services, or by taxi.

We strongly recommend that you travel to the University using public transport, as parking near our campuses will be extremely limited.

You can travel between our campuses on foot, using public transport or using our free shuttle bus service for some campuses.

Edinburgh offers lots of accommodation options, so you can choose to stay overnight and spend more time exploring the city.

Parking

Parking on our University campuses is only available to Open Day visitors with accessibility requirements who have arranged this with us in advance. We strongly recommend using public transport where possible.

Left luggage

We are sorry that we are unable to store luggage for visitors on Open Days. You can find secure left luggage facilities at Edinburgh Waverley train station or Edinburgh bus station.
