Public transport in Granada
Although most of Granada's attractions are within walking distance of the city centre, you can also use an excellent network of Rober company buses. Also in the narrow and steep alleys of the Albaícin district are special mini buses. Granada bus station is located 3 km northwest of the city centre on the Carretera de Jaén. Here you will also find all regional buses to other cities in southern Spain. A single ticket within the city costs € 1.20 and you can buy bus tickets directly from the driver.
Do you want to travel between major cities in Spain?
- By bus: Book bus tickets at the ALSA's website, this is the bus company that carries out long-distance routes between major Spanish cities; ideal during a tour of Andalusia.
- Granada has a train station with good connections to Seville, Madrid and Córdoba. Only Malaga is not easy to reach by train. Train tickets can be booked here at RENFE.
Granada City Train (Hop on hop off bus)
Another easy way to get around in the center of Granada is with a unique city train. The city train runs two routes (Alhambra route and city route) and you can easily get in and out at one of the many stops, such as the narrow streets of the Albaicin and Alhambra districts. A ticket for the train is 8 euros for 1 day or 12 euros for 2 days. Order your train ticket online and you can board the train immediately.
