Valencia Airport (VLC)

Overview

A short drive west of city centre the humble Valencia, or Manises, Airport was renovated in time for the America's Cup in 2007 and now handles five to six million passengers annually.

It's well connected to airports across Europe and the public transport options to and from the airport are convenient and efficient. Most flights to Valencia tend to originate from the much larger Madrid and Barcelona airports. Valencia Airport is open 24 hours and offers a modest number of shops and cafés to pass the time in while waiting to board your flight.
