Valladolid Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Valladolid airport is in Villanubla, about 10 km from the centre, with no hotels in the immediate vicinity: whoever arrives or leaves from here almost always sleeps in the city. The LINEcar bus connects the terminal to the centre in half an hour, with departures every 90 minutes and only during daytime hours; the taxi takes about 20 minutes and is the only option outside those hours. The centre, between Plaza Mayor, Campo Grande and the Cathedral, offers hotels of every category and design apartments in the heart of the casco antiguo; those seeking a different kind of stay instead can sleep in an eighteenth-century monastery on the river Pisuerga, in Arroyo de la Encomienda, a few minutes outside the city.
