Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Ryanair fly direct from London Stansted and East Midlands Airport to Granada-Jaén airport, just 17 kilometres outside the city, near the small town of Santa Fe. Internal flights to and from Madrid and Barcelona also operate regularly. Malaga airport, an hour or so from the city, carries many more international flights.
- Trains
- There are no high speed lines connecting Granada’s central station with other Spanish cities – it can take over five hours to get to Madrid.
- Automobiles
- Narrow-streeted Granada is not a motorist-friendly city and certain areas are closed to all vehicles other than taxis and buses. If you do come by road, find a secure car park to stash your vehicle.
