Hi, will be visiting Aberdeen soon and am wondering how long would it take to walk from station (with wheel along case) to Beach Boulevard/The Links. Have looked on google map and it doesn't look that far but..........??? Is it better to get a taxi? Cheers.

    It's a fair distance with a suitcase, personally I would take a taxi...Be warned though the taxi's aren't particulary cheap in Aberdeen...

    The other alternative is the number 13 bus but you will have to clamber up some steps to get to Union Street to get it...
  • I used to live off Beach Boulevard - will take about 15-20 minutes to walk but I agree with the above if you've got a suitcase. Taxis are notable for being awful and overpriced in Aberdeen! Mind out for the seagulls!

    If you are thinking about the bus, learn some Doric first, it helps with your destination!
