How to arrive, by plane?
If you are flying from anywhere in Europe, you might want to check the connections to Girona airport through low-cost companies:
- Ryanair connects Girona to many European cities (http://www.ryanair.com)
- Transavia connects Girona and the Netherlands (http://www.transavia.com)
- Wings connects Girona to Poland (http://www.centralwings.com)
- Wizzair connects Girona to Poland and Hungary (http://wizzair.com)
Sometimes the low-cost airlines call this airport as Barcelona-Girona, as a second airport of Barcelona.
If you cannot fly directly to Girona, flying to Barcelona is the best alternative.
The airport "El Prat" in Barcelona is easily connected by train (every 1/2 hour) or bus (every 8 minutes) to the main train station in the city (Barcelona Sants Estació), from where you can take another train to Girona (will take approx. 1h 15m with the "Catalunya Express" and 1h 35m with a regular "Regional").
At the airport in Barcelona you may also rent a car or even take a taxi to Girona (approx. 130€ one way, so you might share with 3 or 4 in the same taxi).
For those arriving by plane to BARCELONA AIRPORT please take note of the following instructions:
- Once you are in the airport terminal, go to the train station.
- Take a ticket to Girona, take the train and go down in Barcelona-Sants (last stop) where you have to change train to get to Girona
- At Barcelona-Sants railway station, go up the stairs and look at the big panels in the centre of the station to check the platform from which your train to Girona leaves.
- You have to look at the panel SORTIDES REGIONALS (departures). And look for a train direction FIGUERES or PORTBOU. There, you get information about the platform number and the departure time. In general you have one train each hour.
- Look for the platform and go down the stairs to wait for the train.
- Don’t miss the station of Girona! Girona is not the last stop!!! You have an hour and a quarter or an hour and a half to get to Girona, depending on the kind of train that you take.
