Aberdeen Christmas Village 2026

Aberdeen station, on Guild Street beside Union Square, is managed by ScotRail. ScotRail's station page lists timetables for the Glasgow and Edinburgh to Dundee and Aberdeen route and for the Inverness to Aberdeen line, and the council notes frequent local trains from Inverurie, Dyce, Stonehaven and Laurencekirk. Broad Street is about 0.4 miles north of the station in a straight line (worked out from the coordinates, not a walking distance). The station has step-free access to all platforms, lifts and accessible toilets.

The council lists three park and ride sites, but only Kingswells, on the A944 west of the city, has a frequent bus. Stagecoach Bluebird services 5 and 6 call there about every 15 minutes in the daytime and take from 25 minutes to Union Square bus station, next to the railway station. Parking is free, and an Aberdeen City DayRider is £5.20 (October 2026). Bridge of Don has free parking too, but no local bus calls at the site itself: First and Stagecoach buses stop on Ellon Road, a short walk away. Craibstone has no bus service at present.

Aberdeen City Council's car parks nearest Broad Street are Marischal College, Gallowgate and the West North Street multi-storey, with Frederick Street a little further east. Marischal College is open to the public only on Thursday evenings, Saturdays and Sunday afternoons, and nobody can get in or out after closing time. Elsewhere charges apply 8am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and 1pm to 5pm on Sundays. The council's pages give no postcodes or space counts. Blue Badge holders can park free at on-street meters and pay and display bays. The city centre has a Low Emission Zone that operates all day, every day, so check your vehicle before driving in. Prices read October 2026.

Broad Street is at the east end of the city centre, just off Union Street. Anywhere around Union Street, the Castlegate or the station and harbour area is within about ten minutes on foot. The West End, beyond the top of Union Street, is roughly a mile away.
