Pamplona Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Pamplona is a small city and the airport is just 6 km from the centre: those with a direct flight and light luggage can comfortably stay in the city, with bus line A linking the terminal to the station and the heart of Pamplona in about half an hour. Near the airport, in the municipality of Galar, there is a single isolated and quiet property, useful for those travelling by car or stopping for one night with no need for shops nearby. In the city, it's better to choose between the Ensanche district and the university area, both well connected on foot and by bus to the casco antiguo and to the route of San Fermín.
