The essentials
Valencia Airport is in Manises, about 10 kilometres from the city centre. It is small and easy: from the baggage belt to the kerb is a two-minute walk.
| Option | Time to the centre | Runs through the night |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi | ≈ 20 min, door to door | Yes, 24 hours |
| Metro (lines 3 and 5) | ≈ 25 min to Xàtiva or Colón | No |
| MetroBus 150 | ≈ 45 min | No |
By taxi
The official rank is right outside arrivals. The ride into the centre costs roughly €21–25 including the airport supplement; the full breakdown is in our Valencia taxi fares guide.
It clearly pays off if there are two or more of you, if you land late at night, if you have luggage, or if your accommodation is not next to a metro stop. With Hola Taxi you order a licensed taxi from the app, see the price estimate before confirming and follow the car on the map.
By metro
Aeroport station is inside the terminal on the ground floor. Lines 3 and 5 reach Xàtiva (next to Estació del Nord) and Colón in about 25 minutes. The airport sits in a different fare zone from the centre, so the ticket costs more than a normal city ride.
The metro does not run through the night: if you land after midnight or fly out very early, plan on a taxi.
By bus
MetroBus 150 links the airport with Valencia via Manises, Quart de Poblet and Mislata. It is the cheapest option and the slowest: about 45 minutes.
Where exactly are you going?
- City of Arts and Sciences: taxis loop round the city on the V-30, about 22 minutes.
- Port and cruise terminal: about 25 minutes.
- Joaquín Sorolla high-speed station: about 20 minutes.
- Feria Valencia: just 12 minutes; it is halfway to town.
