Editor’s Note

You should be able to install your own equipment in any vehicle but if you prefer to travel light and you don't plan to bring one, you can pre-book your transfer and request one during the booking.

Most taxi drivers in Girona accept card and cash payments, but it’s best to always carry a few euros in cash as the card machine may be broken or out of service.
Tipping your driver isn’t required in Girona but it’s well-received if you wish to include a tip for good service.

Route 602 usually runs from 12:00 until 18:45. Route L-28 runs from 08:00 until 22:45 on weekdays but only at 11:50 and 20:50 on weekends and public holidays.

Where do I take the bus from?

The bus stop for routes L-28 and 602 is on your right as you exit the Passenger Terminal on the Ground Floor. Look for the relevant signage inside the Arrivals Hall if you have trouble spotting it.

Convenience

Getting from Girona Airport to Girona by bus is a good value-for-money option, ideal if you’re a solo traveller or you don’t wish to spend much on transportation. However, it’s a slower, more crowded, and less convenient option compared to an airport taxi as it will not take you directly to your accommodation; you will need to walk or look for additional transportation from the bus station in the city centre.

Editor’s Note

If you're travelling during high season, availability for either bus may be limited as both bus routes only stop at Girona Airport on their way to Girona. Airport taxis are a better alternative, offering services 24/7.

Useful Tips

You can purchase your ticket from the ticket office at the airport or on the bus using only cash; note that the driver can't provide change for notes higher than €20.
One carry-on and one standard checked luggage is included in the ticket price free of charge.
Most of the Sagalés and Eixbus fleet is accessible to wheelchairs but it's best to contact customer support to confirm.
