Transportation
by air
The Valencia airport is a busy one, handling many national and international flights daily. Now there are many budget airlines flying to Valencia from other European destinations. The airport is located 9 km from the centre of Valencia and is easily accessible by bus and train. Buses leave every 11 minutes for Tùria station with a journey time of about 30 - 40 minutes. There is a special airport bus called the Aerobus that is quicker and goes directly to the city centre, but is slightly more expensive. Trains to the city leave the airport every 20 minutes. It is also possible to take a taxi into town, which costs around € 10.
by train
Many long-distance trains within Spain have effecient services to Valencia, including Madrid, Barcelona, and many other cities. It is also possible to travel by train to Valencia from many other major European cities. The main train station in Valencia is Estacion del Norte, and the national railway company of Spain is known as the RENFE. It is easy to book Spanish trains online, though the first time you do so, you need to pick up your tickets in person to present documentation.
Valencia is a big enough city to have its fair share of traffic problems, but renting a car can still be a good way to get around, especially if you want to explore some sites that are further afield. There are many one-way streets in the city that can be confusing for tourists, and unfortunately the road signs often leave something to be desired, but if you get a good road map you should have few difficulties.
There are a variety of long-distance bus services connecting Valencia to other cities in Spain, especially in the Valencia region. These buses end up at the bus station on the Turia River, a fifteen minute walk from the city centre.
