Access to the City

 

The international airport of Valencia (VLC) is based in the town of “Manises” which is about eight kilometres west of the city. It offers daily flights to major Spanish cities and overseas. There are also a great number of flights which go to Barcelona and Madrid as a connection with other flights.

 

There is a metro that goes directly from the Airport to city center (about 20 min). The line is number 5. If you are hosted in Hotel Venecia, the closest metro station is “Xàtiva”.
