Vigo Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Vigo-Peinador airport is 9 km from the centre: the taxi covers the route in 15 minutes at a fixed fare, the L9A bus in about 30. Those arriving for work or to visit the casco vello find the centre convenient, between the marina and García Barbón; those who need to continue by train towards the rest of Galicia can rely on the area around the Urzáiz station, a few steps from the centre itself. Those instead seeking the three-kilometre-long beach of Samil, on the Atlantic side of the city, should allow a few extra minutes of transfer but gain the sea on foot.
