Figueres doesn’t have its own airport but it can be reached from the nearest Catalan ones: Girona-Costa Brava Airport (37 km away) and Barcelona-El Prat Airport (154 km away).
There’s a bus route that runs between the two airports and Figueres. You can also use the rail connections, although they involve a change of means of transport in the centre of Girona or Barcelona.
Figueres has two railway stations. The conventional railway station, at which the commuter lines with connections to a large part of Catalonia arrive, is located in the city centre.
The high-speed station connects Figueres with Barcelona and Madrid on the one hand and with Paris and several French cities on the other. This station is located a kilometre and a half from the city centre and provides a shuttle bus service coordinated with the arrival of each train, as well as a fleet of taxis.
The bus station is located next to the conventional railway station beside the centre of Figueres. It brings together coaches that cover lines around the county, province (connections with the whole of the Costa Brava) and Catalonia and others that provide international connections.
Figueres is easily accessible by road. It’s only half an hour from Girona and the border with France and an hour and a half from Barcelona via the N-II road or AP-7 motorway (exits 3 and 4).
The N-260 road connects the city with the coast (Llançà and Portbou) to the north-east and the interior and the Pyrenees (Garrotxa) to the west. It can also be reached from the area of the Bay of Roses and El Cap de Creus along the C-260 road.
There are several routes that connect the city with the territory, such as the Figueres-Roses cycle tourism axis, the Way of Saint James (from La Jonquera to Girona) and the Bicitranscat project currently undergoing implementation to create a route for cyclists between Figueres and Perpignan. These are linked to other networks such as the Pirinexus and different circular cycling circuits to allow you to discover the county.
