Transportation to Airport from Malaga City Center

Malaga Airport

Malaga attracts a great number of visitors every year thanks to its mild climate and spectacular historical places. This crowded city offers many alternatives for passengers in terms of the transportation.

Buses and trains are the two most important of these among the public transportation vehicles. Taxi and car rental alternatives come to the forefront, especially during late hours, as an alternative to buses and trains.

Walking and renting bicycles are preferred for travelling around the city, but these alternatives are inadequate for the transportation to the airport.

Bus

You can easily arrive at the airport by using the bus route 9, which runs every 30 minutes from the main bus stop next to the main railway station, just in west of the city center. If you are thinking of using the buses, you should remember that they only operate between 06:25 am – 11:30 pm.

The stop named Centro Alameda is generally the first departure stop of all bus routes. This bus stop also provides transportation to other European cities.

Train

You can reach the airport in about 12 minutes by using the line C1 from Centro Alameda Railway Station, which is the main station and located in north of the city center. They operate every 20 minutes and start at 05:20 in the morning and end at 11:30 pm. You can get your ticket from machines at the station.

Hotel Shuttle Services

Many of the hundreds of small and large accommodation centers in Malaga offer airport shuttle service. As soon as you arrive at your hotel, you can obtain information from your hotel whether they provide this service or not. If such a service is available at your hotel and you decide to use it, you should make a reservation in advance.

Taxi

Taxi is a widely-used transportation vehicle in the city. If you decide to reach the airport with the white taxis, you can make a reservation in advance. Your hotel can also help you about this issue. The travel lasts about 20 minutes and the average fare is 20 Euro. They may demand extra amount for your baggage.

Car Rental

You can consider renting a car, especially if you are planning to visit the surrounding villages and towns or cities. You can even rent a car to explore many beautiful beaches in an easy and comfortable way. You can rent your car at the airport after your plane has landed or from the car rental companies located in the city center.

Many hotels have an agreement with the car rental companies or at least they have contact information of these companies. You can ask for help from your hotel about this issue.

If you are going to rent a car during your travel, turn to the link road MA-23, recently completed, and use the exit indicated by the yellow sign on which you will see the word “Aeropuerto” meaning airport.

This airport, located in Malaga, the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, is also known as the Pablo Ruiz Picasso Airport.

You can make your reservation in advance for the VIP Lounge at the airport if you don’t want to lose time when you have come here. This lounge will make your waiting duration more pleasant and comfortable, especially if you will spend a lot of time at the airport.

In addition, bus line 46 provides transportation to the city center. However, this bus makes frequent stops and has a limited amount of space for luggage.
