How Do I Get Around?

Although Salamanca does have a public bus system and taxis, there really is no need to use these means of transportation. Students are within walking distance of everything, including the university. Walking is the best way to learn street names, experience the personality of the city, and soak up the local culture. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk much more than you might be used to at home! If you get lost, don't be afraid to practice your Spanish.

A one-way bus ride on one of Salamanca's 13 bus routes costs 0.75 euros. If desired, you may purchase a bus card for 5 euros. With this card each bus ride costs 0.35 euros.

By taxi, a trip from one side of Salamanca to the other side of the city will cost about 3 euros during the day and about 5 euros at night.

Trains and buses connect Salamanca to other cities in Spain and Europe. Both the train and bus stations are centrally located. Four trains and 15 buses depart daily for Madrid.

The Salamanca-Matacán airport is about 10 miles from the Salamanca. The Salamanca-Matacán airport serves Lagun Air and Air Europa.
