There are plenty of options when it comes
to travelling to the Highland capital. Fly to Inverness
Airport from a number of destinations across the UK and Europe
or take the train with Scotrail
or the luxury Caledonian
Sleeper overnight. If travelling by road from the south, the A9
is the main route, connecting the city with Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow,
and many other towns. There are good coach links to Inverness as well.
Whichever way you choose, it's a pretty scenic journey!
