Getting to Glasgow

Air:

Our nearest international airport is Glasgow Airport, just over 8 miles from the city centre. There are bus, rail and taxi transfer options available for travel to from the airport, as well as several car hire options. Edinburgh Airport is also just a bus or train ride away.

We recommend you use a flight comparison site like SkyScanner to explore your options.

Rail:

Trains from England and the South West of Scotland usually arrive at Glasgow Central Station, and trains from the rest of Scotland may arrive at Glasgow Central or Glasgow Queen Street. Both stations are conveniently located in the city centre.

TheTrainLine offers a simple journey planner and allows you to book tickets from multiple providers.

Coach:

There are several coach providers that have routes to Glasgow from around Scotland and the wider UK, including National Express, Megabus, FlixBus, CityLink and more.

CheckMyBus is a great comparison tool that allows you to compare options from all major providers.

Car:

Glasgow is easily accessed by road, with major motorway links to Edinburgh, the North of England and the South. Parking in Glasgow can be expensive and difficult to find, so we encourage you to travel by public transport where possible.

Glasgow city centre has a Low Emission Zone that prohibits vehicles from entering if they do not meet emission standards. Check if your vehicle is permitted before you travel.
