How to get to Granada from other cities
Granada is very well communicated, especially with Malaga, Seville and Madrid in terms of tourism and communications, since there are many tourists who come to our city from these capitals.
Therefore, in addition to the private car, you can get to Granada in these means of transport:
- By bus: from the Bus Station, located on Avenida de Juan Pablo II s / n. You can get here with the urban bus line 33 or with the Granada Metro line 1, getting off at “Estacion de Autobuses”. The only bus company that operates in Granada is Alsa.
- By plane: through the Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport, and located about 15 minutes by car from the city. There are buses that connect the city center with the airport. It is route 245 of the Alsa buses, which departs from the Palacio de Congresos, passes through all of Gran Vía, Constitución Avenue, Bus Station, Santa Fé and Airport. The peculiarity of this airport is that it is very small, it only has two boarding gates and it only offers flights to Barcelona, Bilbao, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Madrid, Melilla, Menorca, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife.
- By train: through the Railway Station located on Avenida Andaluces. It has Medium and Long Distance services, as well as High Speed, offering direct AVE connections with Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Malaga and Córdoba.
On the other hand, to get to Granada the use of shared car (Bla Bla car or Amovens) is also very widespread, especially among the younger population and students.
Granada bike path
Although initially it has not been a city that stands out for its bike lanes, today many more streets and places have been adapted to this transport.
The bike lanes located in Camino de Ronda, PT de la Salud, Zaidín, Avenida de Andalucía, Surroundings of the Bus Station or Paseo Fuente de la Bicha stand out.
How to get around the center of Granada
Granada is really a city whose historic center can be visited on foot, especially if you want to enjoy the magic of its streets and squares.
However, the urban buses that go to Gran Vía and Avenida de la Constitución are lines 4, 8, circular 11 and 21 and 33.
If you want to visit the Alhambra, Albaicín and Sacromonte areas, which are cobbled areas with many slopes, you can opt for the C30, C31, C32, C34 and C35 minibuses, which connect the center with these areas.
If you need it, you can always choose to move by taxi, although it is the most expensive means of transport in Granada.
And finally, you can also take a tourist route through the most unique places through the Granada City Tour Tourist Train.
