Car Hire in Girona - Getting to Girona

Girona airport is located 9kms from the city and offers good domestic connections although limited European international services.

Most people flying direct to the province of Catalunya choose Barcelona as their initial point of entry. It is a big international and domestic destination, with direct flights from North America and many European cities. The airport is situated 9 mi southwest of the city centre at El Prat de Llobregat.

From the main train station in Girona trains can be caught to all Spanish destinations and many European cities (routing via Barcelona). Tickets are best organised through a local travel agent.

The intercity bus station serves all regional centres in Spain and most mainland European capitals. There is no single national coach line. Tourist offices can give information on how to get to your destination. Local coach services can be booked and paid for in Spain but seat reservations should be made in advance. Coach stations are laid out according to the company, not the route

Driving back into Spain from Girona the CG1 expressway is the most direct route chosen by many motorists. On arrival at the coast, the A7 coastal road provides the most scenic driving in the area and is the best route south along the sun filled and sandy coast.
