International and local visitors to Aberdeen will likely arrive via air at Aberdeen Airport (ABZ) at Dyce, north of the city. Nearby is the local heliport, which services the oil industry and rescue services. With the discovery of North Sea oil, the heliport links the growing number of oil platforms to the mainland, making it one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world.
Local bus services offer public transport in the city and between local towns in the area, with Aberdeen Tramways depot on King Street serving as the primary point of departure. Most trains arrive and depart from Aberdeen railway station – Guild Street, Aberdeen AB11 6LX.
Long-distance coaches provide travel to neighbouring towns and cities with regular services to and from London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.
If you’d like to stretch your legs, Aberdeen is connected to the UK National Cycle Network and has tracks south to Dundee and Edinburgh and one to the north that forks to Inverness and Fraserburgh.
Two popular sight-seeing paths are the Deeside Way to Banchory and the Formartine and Buchan Way to Ellon, used by cyclists, walkers, and horses.
