Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBA) - Guide to Leeds (LBA) Airport
Leeds has a decent public transport system and excellent rail and bus services to destinations throughout the United Kingdom. If you're planning on exploring the attractions and beautiful countryside in the areas around Leeds, it's possible to hire a car from any number of car rental companies in the city. There are also many garages in Leeds, so parking is not usually problematic in the centre although there are areas that require a resident's parking permit.
Much of Leeds city centre is pedestrianised, making it a very walkable city and there are also good public transport networks, making hiring a car redundant if you're sticking to the centre of town and the immediate surrounding areas. Both the bus and train stations are centrally located, with Leeds Bus Station located on Dyer street, next to Leeds' Kirkage Market, and Leeds City Rail Station situated in City Square.
There are taxi ranks throughout the city where you can pick up a licensed black and white hackney cab and taxi travel is reasonably priced, making it a convenient and safe way to get around, especially at night.
The closest and most convenient airport for Leeds is Leeds Bradford International Airport (LBA), which is situated approximately 11 miles from central Leeds.
