How to reach Granada

By plane: the International Airport of Granada [7], at only 15 minutes drive from Granada downtown, is connected by several flights per day with Madrid [8] airport, as well as with Barcelona [9] and other cities in Spain. Alternatively, the International Airport of the Costa del Sol (Malaga) [10], at 130 km from Granada, serves multiple international destinations, especially within Europe.

For those arriving at Granada airport, the fastest way into the city is to take a taxi. The cost is about 25€ from the airport to downtown Granada. For those on a budget and with patience there is a regular bus service (to the right end of the terminal as you exit), which takes you to the city center for 3 euros.

For those arriving at Malaga airport: there are direct buses from Málaga airport to Granada bus station. They leave at 10:45, 11:30, 16:00 and 18:30. The trip takes 2 hours 20 minutes and a one-way ticket costs 10€. If you arrive at another time, it is faster to catch a bus from Málaga airport to Málaga bus station and then catch a bus to Granada. There are buses from Malaga's airport to Málaga bus station every 30 minutes, and from Malaga to Granada every hour (ALSA bus company [11]). The journey takes about 2 hours and costs ~10€.
