From Edinburgh Airport to the city centre by tram
The stop is just outside the terminal, by the square with the Edinburgh sign, along a covered walkway. The tram takes about 30 minutes to the centre and stops at Haymarket, West End, Princes Street and St Andrew Square, a step from Waverley; it then continues to Leith and Newhaven. Buy your ticket before boarding, from the machine on the platform or in the app (£7.90 single, £9.50 open return), or pay contactless by tapping on and off at the platform validators. The airport fare is higher than the city fare: the daily city caps don't cover it, only the £14 Network one.
