About the EDI to Edinburgh route

The journey from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) to the city center of Edinburgh (EH1) spans approximately 14 km and takes around 24 minutes by taxi. The route typically involves taking the A8 towards Glasgow Road, passing through Corstorphine, and then joining the A902 to reach the heart of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh's traffic can vary greatly, especially during peak hours such as early mornings and late afternoons.
