The airport is situated 12 kilometres (8 miles) from the city centre with several straightforward ways to travel into central Edinburgh.
taxi:
I recommend a taxi into and around the city centre! Though not always the cheapest form (it can set you back about fifteen pounds) of transport to the city centre, this, at times can be the most useful mode of transport in Edinburgh
If in a hurry and pushing for time, (to be on the safe side) you need to allow twenty five minutes for your journey into the city centre.
