Vitoria Gasteiz is the capital of the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain and it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re planning a trip to Bilbao. It’s a very interesting destination for architecture and design enthusiasts who wish to visit the city’s medieval and traditional sites. You can start your trip there and make arrangements to get directly from Bilbao Airport to Vitoria Gasteiz by taxi or bus.
Taking an airport taxi is the easiest and most convenient way to reach your accommodation in Vitoria Gasteiz. You can either take a taxi from the airport rank or pre-book your ride to save time and enjoy stress-free, door-to-door service. If you’re travelling with young children or you’re a heavy packer, don’t think twice – taking a taxi is the best option to start your trip comfortably. The ride by taxi takes approximately 1 hour and you can expect to pay from €115 to €140 for a standard local taxi.
If you’re planning a trip on a tight budget and spending much on transportation isn’t an option, you can travel by bus from Bilbao Airport to Vitoria Gasteiz to keep your expenses low. Keep in mind that there is no direct connection between the two cities, so you’ll need to combine different operators to reach your destination. One possibility is to go through Bilbao; the trip duration will be about 2 hours, excluding wait times, and the total cost will be €10 per traveller. It can be a bit more complicated to plan but it’s a good value-for-money option.
