Going by taxi from the airport to city centre.

How much is it going a taxi journey cost?

Taxi fares

There are several fares in Zaragoza for taxis.
Fare 1 is for weekly days. Fare 2 is for night and weekend services (22:00 to 6:00).
Fare 3 and 4 are the same ones but used for not inner city. This is... if you go from city centre to anywhere out of inner city they will apply fare 1 (or 2) until one specific point (there are signals in the street/road) and later fare 3 (or 4) which is more expensive.
If you go out of Zaragoza municipality territory, fare will be calculated based in kilometres (but there is not many difference, indeed, with the fare numbers price).
The total cost will depend even of the time that they have been waiting (or going under 20 km/h), even of kilometres.
This is, you can consider the number of kilometres as an estimation but in a traffic light in red the price will increase a little because "waiting time". And it will be more expensive if the taxi is in a traffic congestion and running slowly than if it goes faster (if it drives fast you will notice that taximetre will run fast too... but you will arrive to destination fast too also).
Furthermore, there is a specific extra fare if the taxi departs from the airport.

so... how is it going to cost me?

It is not easy to calculate, but taxi drivers have set this pannel in the airport where you will take a taxi, in English and Spanish and you will be able to check fares. They are just approximate. Final fare to pay is which would be indicated in the taximetre in any case. But it is written for weekends and for weekly days. So you can decide if taking a taxi or not.
As an example, "city centre" will cost 19 or 26 euro depending of weekly days or weekend.
Railway and bus station (Estacion Delicias) will cost 17 to 22.
Hospital Miguel Servet and Hospital Clinico are 18/19 to 23/24 euro (they are quite near).
The rest of destinations are for other towns in the nearby, exhibition centre or industrial areas.
As said... it is not official but you can know, more or less, how much will it cost to you.

Is there any other option for mobility?

Yes. Every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday and 60 minutes in Sunday there is a bus that takes you from the airport to Delicias railway and bus Station and to city centre.
A single ticket costs 1,70 euro so you can decide if it wonders to take a taxi or not.
Time for a bus to city centre is about 30 minutes. Final stop is in P. Maria Agustin, corner with Cesar Augusto.
should you have a bus card or so, inside Zaragoza, connecting with another bus or tramway is free.

Arriving by plane to Zaragoza

Airport: Arriving by plane to Zaragoza

Zaragoza has not a big airport. It was refurbished in 2008 because the international exhibition but you will not see many international flights and almost all of them low cost.
Being a city located about 300 km away from Madrid airport, Barcelona airport, Valencia and Bilbao (and a little more to Toulouse) it is quite easy to arrive there with more destinations and frequencies and transfer to train.

But it is possible to arrive by plane.

Which international destinations do we have?

Today there are only two companies with international destinations: Ryanair and Wizz-Air.
Ryanair flyes Charleroi (Brussels), Stansted (London) and Beauvois (Paris) three or four times per week and to Bergamo (Milano) everyday (it could be the unique non base-to-base RYR flight daily).

Wizz-Air flyes to Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca twice per week.

Both of them are low cost companies and have the typical baggage, check-in, etc... restrictions. Have a look in their webs.

There are other domestic direct destinations.

How can I move from airport to city centre?

In a weekly day, fare with all supplements Airport-City centre would be 25 EUR for a taxi.

There is a bus service that runs every 30 minutes (60 minutes on sundays). and takes you from airport to station and city centre. It costs 1,85 EUR/person.

It will go via a logistic area and shopping centre (they have more passengers than airport and thanks to them we have these frequencies. Airport is only the last stop). They will stop at the station. Take notice. Direction centre they will stop at Departures area and direction airport they will stop at the Arrivals area. That will help anyone who arrives to Zaragoza (arrivals area) and want to take a bus to airport or conversely.

At city centre they have the terminus in P. Maria Agustin 7.

These are current timetables. You can have a look

Where can I find information?

At the airport there is a tourism office, managed both by Zaragoza council and Aragon government so you will find enough information about each destination. Be almost sure that you would be able to buy there all official tickets you would want.
It opens 10:00 to 21:00 monday to sunday except Christmas and New Year's day.

Can I find more flights?

Yes. There are not too many direct flights but in holiday seasons you can find charter flights. It is an aiport located in a city between important hubs. People do not use it for business because destinations and frequencies but they use it for holidays.
Have a look for season destinations or sometimes a flight to be operated only in some dates.


Apart of it, thanks to Zaragoza location (about 30 million people in 350 km around considering almost all Spain and southern France), Zaragoza airport will not have too many passenger flights but it is the second airport in freight in Spain, after Madrid airport and more freight than other ones.
