Arriving by Car
As Edinburgh is a very busy city, congestion can at times make driving difficult or slow - if possible, using public transport is often a better alternative.
If you are driving however, we recommend parking in the nearby Castle Terrace Car Park. Located 2 minutes from the theatre on Castle Terrace, the car park holds 750 cars, is lit and is open 24 hours.
Very limited parking is also directly available opposite the Lyceum on Grindlay Street itself, and there are a number of disabled spaces 150 yards along the road. (Please note that due to the current Usher Hall extension works Grindlay Street is intermittently closed to traffic at present)
