Wick Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Wick Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Wick is a small town on Scotland's north coast, with the airport just 2 km from the centre: in practice every address is a few minutes' taxi ride from the terminal. The choice here is less about distance and more about atmosphere: the centre near the harbour and Ebenezer Place, the shortest street in the world, a handy stop just outside for those travelling the North Coast 500, or the area along the River Wick, quieter in the evening. Being a classic stop on the North Coast 500, it's worth booking ahead in the summer months, when the few available rooms fill up fast.
