Granada is well-connected by air, rail and road. Within the city, the Granada Metro, city buses and a tourist minibus network serve the main sights, though the historic quarters of Albayzín and Sacromonte are accessible only on foot.
Granada Airport (IATA: GRX) handles domestic Spanish flights and limited European routes, primarily operated by Vueling and Iberia Express. A regular bus service (Bus Aeropuerto) connects the airport to the city centre (Gran Vía) in approximately 45 minutes. Taxis take 20–25 minutes and cost roughly €25–30. The airport is small and manageable. For wider international connections, Malaga Airport (AGP) — served by Alsa bus in 1h 45m — offers far more flight options and is the preferred gateway for most international visitors.
Granada Estación de Tren, located northwest of the city centre, is the terminus of the Renfe AVE high-speed line from Madrid (approx. 3 hours, from €20). Regional trains connect to Almería, Ronda and Algeciras. City buses and taxis link the station to the centre. The station was rebuilt as part of the AVE project and is modern and well-equipped. The AVE service transformed Granada's accessibility, making it a realistic day trip or weekend destination from Madrid for the first time.
Driving into Granada's historic centre is restricted by Low Emission Zone (ZBE) regulations. Use peripheral car parks (Parking Neptuno, Parking Triunfo) and public transport into the centre.
