The Airport is connected by a bus line (501) that connects the center of Zaragoza city, the Intermodal Station, and the Plaza industrial park.

If on your next trip you arrive at Zaragoza-Delicias Station, you may be interested to know that it is also known as Delicias and that high-speed trains arrive there. It is a train and railway station located at Avenida de Navarra, number 80 in the city of Zaragoza that also houses the urban bus station.
To better locate yourself, this important train and bus station is located southeast of the center of the Aragonese city. Its location on the outskirts of the center allows access from different points of Zaragoza and tourist destinations in its surroundings such as Madrid or Barcelona.

Zaragoza Is Connected to the Two Main Spanish Cities
Madrid and Barcelona are two of the most popular cities visited by Spaniards and tourists from all over the world. The connections that Zaragoza has with the two main cities of Spain are extraordinary, since by AVE you can reach Zaragoza in less than an hour and a half from both Madrid and Barcelona.
Undoubtedly, the geographical location of the Maña city is a point in its favor to take into account during your visit. In the heart of Aragon and halfway, almost exactly, between the two major Spanish cities, Zaragoza is a very well-connected place of passage.
If you choose the car as a means of transport to reach Zaragoza, three hours by road separate the Aragonese capital from both capitals. Of course, you can also travel by plane from Madrid or Barcelona to Zaragoza Airport.
