Getting a taxi from Bordeaux Airport to your hotel
Buses run from Bordeaux Airport to the city center each day. However, there can be long wait times for public transportation and very little luggage storage. Once you reach the city center of Bordeaux, you will also have to walk at least 20 minutes through the busy city streets to your hotel or take a taxi, which will add cost and time to your overall journey.
Alternatively, you can take a private and direct Bordeaux Airport taxi and enjoy a seamless transfer right the the door of your hotel.
