Asturias Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Asturias airport is 46 kilometers from Oviedo, about forty minutes by taxi or 45-50 with the ALSA bus, which leaves every hour in front of arrivals and also stops in Avilés and Gijón. With no hotels on the airport grounds and no direct train, those with a dawn flight should arrange the transfer the evening before. In the city, besides the casco histórico clustered around the cathedral, two areas remain convenient: Campo de San Francisco, with the larger hotels near the university, and Calle Uría, a step away from the bus and train station for those already tired from the journey.

Casco histórico, near the cathedral

City centre · about 40 minutes by taxi from the airport, or the ALSA bus (45-50 minutes, one departure an hour) to Oviedo station

Best for: those who want to sleep among the lanes of the historic center and visit the cathedral and Plaza de la Constitución on foot

Pros

A few steps from the cathedral, Plaza de la Constitución and the Fontán market
Dozens of cider houses and bars in the lanes around the cathedral

Cons

Pedestrian streets, not very convenient for those arriving by car
