Located in northwest Spain, Pontevedra is a historical city, famous for its Gothic Santa María la Mayor Basilica and well-preserved Old Town. To truly soak up all the history of this beautiful city, be sure to visit the 12th-century Cistercian monastery, Mosteiro de Santa María de Armenteira, and the Sexto Edificio museum, with its incredible Galician art.

There are two ways to get from Vigo Airport to Pontevedra; taxi or bus. Taking an airport taxi or private transfer will take around 30 minutes to reach Pontevedra, and a local cab will cost approximately €50. The Monbus will take closer to 50 minutes to reach the historic city but will cost just €2.60 per person.
