Getting from Vigo-Peinador Airport to the city

Line A

• The Vigo city operator Vitrasa runs Line A between the airport and the university.
• Its full name in the operator's listing is Universidad - Aeropuerto, and the airport describes it as the line connecting the airport with the university campus of Vigo.
• The stop at the airport is on the outside pavement at arrivals.
• Information: +34 986 291 600.

What that means in practice

• The line goes to the campus, not the city centre. The University of Vigo's Lagoas-Marcosende campus is south-east of the city.
• You may need to change to reach Vigo's centre, the port or the Urzaiz railway station.
• Check the timetable before landing, since the service is described as connecting with flights rather than running at a fixed frequency.

The airport

• Peinador is about 9 km east of Vigo, in the hills above the ria.
• Vigo is the largest city in Galicia and the busiest fishing port in Europe.
• Santiago de Compostela's airport is about 90 km north and is the region's main gateway, with Porto in Portugal about 150 km south and also widely used.

Getting around Vigo

• The Urzaiz station has high-speed trains to Santiago, A Coruna and Madrid.
• Ferries cross the ria to Cangas and Moana, and to the Cies Islands in summer.
