And as your ultimate destination, we aim to make your journey worthwhile.
Getting here… from Europe and the rest of the world.

There are frequent services to the key global hubs of London, Amsterdam and Paris. So getting here from justabout anywhere in the world isn’t a problem.

Getting here… from within Aberdeen
AECC sits right next to the A90 trunk road so getting here by car from the city centre or further afield is a simple option.
We’re only a ten-minute taxi ride from Aberdeen railway and bus stations in the city centre.
Click the map in the sidebar to view where we are.
We’re located on the Red and Pink line local bus routes (service numbers 1, 2 and 13) and the nearest bus stop is only a short walk way.
A dedicated on-site Park and Ride facility offers fast and regular bus services to and from the city centre – every 15 minutes at peak times.
The options don’t end there. In partnership with First, we offer a special Gig‘n’Go service at selected concerts if you fancy a drink on the big night out. Catch a bus outside AECC (at the Park and Ride) after the gig and for a flat fare of just £3 you’re in the city centre in no time.
