Ways to get to Valencia City from Castellon Airport.

First of all, and coming back again to our reference at the top of this article about the importance of planning your trip, at Castellon Airport you cannot take the Valencia Metro, and you cannot take any train. There is no train station at Castellón Airport. I noticed that is one of the most common mistakes. People look for information about Valencia Airport and find that there is a Metro Station at the airport, but Castellon Airport is sold as Castellon-Valencia Airport due to its closeness but it is not Valencia Airport, it is Castellon Airport.

1.- By Bus directly from Castellón Airport to Valencia.

Please note that this option is not available at this time. You will need to use any of the other options presented in this article.

~~There is a shuttle bus service provided by Autos Mediterráneo company. The ticket costs 20€ from Castellon Airport to Valencia city. The bus stop in Valencia is located in Paseo de la Alameda.~~

The trip takes between 1 hour or 1 hour and a half, depending on the bus stops. Let me explain to you. If the bus does not stop in Castellón because no passenger has bought a ticket for this city, the bus will go directly to Valencia, and it will only take about one hour. At worst, that is, the 2 stops, the journey will take 1:30hrs.

~~Cost: 20€~~
~~Trip time: 1:30h~~
~~Stops in Valencia: 1~~

2.- By Bus to Castellón Railway station + Train “Renfe Cercanías” to Valencia.

This option is a little bit cheaper than going to Valencia directly and gives you 3 different stops into Valencia city.

4.- Private Transfer.

This is another and maybe the most exclusive option available at the airport… or maybe not. Let me explain.

The service can be provided by the same company that offers the shuttle bus service. We have left you a link above. Or this service can be provided by other transfer companies.
