Valencia Getting Around

Getting around Valencia
It is perfectly feasible to spend a weekend in Valencia without needing to take a bus or the metro. The city is eminently walkable, with the occasional taxi at night or to avoid the heat of the day. Should you need it, Valencia has an excellent public transport system, with efficient buses and metro system. Tickets can be bought at kiosks and tobacco shops.

Getting from Valencia airport
Valencia airport is about 5 miles from the centre. Metro line 5 connects the airport with the train station, the port, and the beach. The Aerobus departs every 15 minutes. There are a couple of city centre stops before reaching the main train station. The 150 bus takes longer and goes to the bus station. Taxis are reliable and metered. There is a small surcharge for airport trips. The journey into the city centre takes about 15 minutes

Walking
Most of the major sights of Valencia are easily reached on foot. The beautiful El Carmen neighbourhood can only really be appreciated walking. Crossing the city centre will not take much more than 40 minutes.
