From the Santiago de Compostela World / Travel essentials
Arriving and Getting Around Santiago
Santiago de Compostela can be reached by Camino routes, rail, bus or air. Once in the centre, the cathedral precinct and old town are best linked on foot.
Why go
The walkable historic core makes it easy to combine Praza do Obradoiro, nearby cathedral squares and food streets without repeatedly changing transport. Use bus or taxi for longer legs outside the centre, and confirm current station and airport connections before arrival.
Useful to know
Check current rail, bus and airport connections with the operators before travel; old route and fare lists date quickly.
Walk between the cathedral squares and old town sights, allowing for narrow streets and wet paving.
Use local transport for areas beyond the centre rather than assuming every destination is a short walk.
