Worth knowing about Edinburgh
- The tram stop is right outside the main terminal next to the plaza, and the ride into the city centre takes about 30 minutes, with trams every 7 minutes between 06:30 and 19:00.
- The first tram leaves the airport at 06:30 and the last at 22:52, so late arrivals need the Airlink 100 bus, which runs 24/7 between the airport and the city centre.
- Edinburgh Airport's free Wi-Fi is limited to two hours per device per day, so an eSIM is worth having active before you land if you have a long connection.
- Edinburgh has no metro or underground railway; the tram line opened in 2014 and runs at street level from the airport through Haymarket and St Andrew Square to Newhaven.
