There are regular rail services from the Central Belt of Scotland to Aberdeen, also from Inverness in the north run by First ScotRail.
Aberdeen train station is over two miles from the ground and can be quite a walk (around 25-30mins). You might find it easier to take a taxi to the ground. However if you want to walleave the station turn left adn walk across the bridge and then turn right. This brings you onto Union Street, where you should walk (right) down until its end where you will reach Castlegate. Home supporters should bear left into King St (A956) and continue down this street before turning right into Merkland Road for the ground. Away supporters should proceed through the Castlegate and into Park St. This street eventually becomes Golf Road and you will come to Pittodrie on your left.
The ground is located in the North part of the city (close to Old Aberdeen) an near to the coast line.
From the South:
Follow the A90 towards Aberdeen. Just south of Aberdeen join the A956. Keep on the A956 through Aberdeen and eventually you will come to Pittodrie on your right. Turn right into Pittodrie Street for the ground.
From the North:
Follow the A956 into Aberdeen. You will reach Pittodrie over on your left. Turn left into Pittodrie Street for the ground.

Parking:
There is a large car park at the ground but this is for pass-holders only. There is though, a fair amount of street parking in side streets and on the Esplanade along the sea front, which is on the other side of the golf course.
There are not many pubs close to the ground, so consider drinking in the city followed by the King St crawl! The nearest bar to the ground is the Broadhill at the back of the Richard Donald Stand for home supporters. Next closest are the three Golf Clubs, all of whom operate a signing in/membership thing which some away fans take advantage of and have an invariably friendly atmosphere.
There are regular bus services from Inverness, Fraserburgh, Peterhead and the Central Belt of Scotland to Aberdeen with Stagecoach, Scottish Citylink and Megabus.
In Aberdeen there are buses from Union Street that will take you to Pittodrie. A number 11 will drop you off on Golf Road with Pittodrie on the left. A number 1, 2 and 15 will drop you off on King Street. The best stop is the one after King Street Bus Depot, then make your way down Pittodrie Street on the right.
