Transportation from Santiago De Compostela Airport to the City Center
Santiago De Compostela Airport, officially known as Santiago–Rosalía de Castro Airport, is an international airport serving the Galicia region of Spain. The airport, formerly Lavacolla, was renamed in 2020 after the Galician poet and writer Rosalía de Castro.
Santiago De Compostela is a tourism destination known all over the world, especially with the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral at its center, which is considered a pilgrimage to visit, and is part of the Route to Santiago (El Camino de Santiago). That's why there are flights to the city every month of the year. There are many vehicles to reach the city from this airport, which serves such a large and touristic area.
The most economical of these are the airport buses operated by the Monbus company. The bus departs from the bus stop just outside the arriving floor and ends its journey in downtown Santiago, stopping at several stops. The bus journey takes about 20 minutes.
A more comfortable and faster way to make this journey is to take an airport taxi. The journey between the airport and the city center has a fixed price. You can get on the next taxi by confirming the price from the taxi driver.
The biggest advantage of taking airport taxis in Santiago De Compostela is that taxis are allowed to enter the old city center, where vehicles are not allowed under normal conditions. If your hotel is in the old city center, especially if you are a family with children or if you have heavy luggage, this feature of taxis will make your arrival at the hotel much easier.
Although the places to see in Santiago De Compostela always seem to be clustered in the city center, there are many places to see such as A Coruña, 75 km away. So you can also consider hiring a car. You can rent a car from world-renowned car rental companies such as Avis and Hertz, which have offices at the airport, and you can avoid airport transfer. You can check the car rental companies that have offices at the airport on the official website of the airport.
