Many areas of interest in Valencia are within walking distance, but students will also often find Valencia's public transport systems convenient.

BUSES
Extensive bus routes connect all Valencia neighborhoods, including the beach, and run frequently during the day. There are also several hourly night bus routes. A bus ticket costs 1.15 euros or students may purchase a 10-trip pass for 5.45 euros.

SUBWAY
Valencia's modern and efficient subway system (metro) connects most parts of the city to the beaches and the outlying suburbs. The system is made of both underground trains and streetcars, and both run throughout the day. A one-trip ticket costs 1.25 euros or students may purchase a 10-trip pass for 5.85 euros.

MONTHLY PASS
Many students choose to purchase a monthly transportation pass that includes unlimited travel on the bus, subway, and streetcars. A one-month pass costs 34.40 euros.

TAXI
At night, many students choose to travel by taxi, an affordable and convenient way to move about town. Taxis are usually easy to hail on the street, but it is always a good idea to keep the local taxi service phone number handy if one cannot be found. A taxi ride across town generally costs between 5 and 10 euros. Remember, it is not necessary to tip taxi drivers in Spain.

BICYCLE
Valencia has an extensive and safe system of bike lanes throughout the city. Students who are in Valencia for an extended period of time may find biking a convenient way to travel. Bike rental for daily use is also available.

TRAVELING TO AND FROM VALENCIA
Trains and buses connect Valencia to other cities in Spain and Europe. Both the train and bus stations are centrally-located and can be reached by local bus, metro, or taxi.

In summer, Trasmediterránea operates car and passenger ferries to Mallorca and Ibiza.

The Valencia airport is about 6 miles from the city center and is easily reached by metro or taxi. National, international, and budget airlines carry travelers to a number of destinations.
