By plane to A Coruña
For international attendees, we recommend flying to Madrid, the capital of Spain. Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez Airport [Google Maps] offers frequent connections to cities around the world [see destinations].
A Coruña has a local airport (Alvedro Airport [Google Maps]) with flights to and from Madrid, Barcelona, London (Gatwick), Milan, and Geneva [see destinations].
A Coruña Airport has a bus service connecting the airport to the city every 30 minutes [see information]. Taxis are also available, with an approximate fare of 20 euros to the city center [see information].
By train from Madrid
It is also possible to travel from Madrid to A Coruña by train [see information]. Two types of service are available:
- Regular train: journey time of about 4.5 hours, price around 45 euros.
- High-speed train: journey time of about 3.5 hours, price around 65 euros.
Trains depart from Madrid-Chamartín station [Google Maps] and arrive at A Coruña’s San Cristóbal station [Google Maps].
By plane to Santiago de Compostela
Flying to Santiago de Compostela Airport [Google Maps] is another option. There are flights to and from Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, London (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted), Paris, Zurich and other destinations [see destinations]. From there, you can reach A Coruña by taxi (approximately 80 euros, 45 minutes) or by combining a bus to Santiago de Compostela [see information] and a train to A Coruña [there is no timetable, you will have to find the timetable at Renfe’s website], which are more affordable but slower.
