Travel info
Valencia is one of the main cities in Spain and is well connected with the rest of Spain and Europe. There are flights to Valencia Airport (VLC) from most of the main cities in Europe. The best option for arriving to Valencia is, therefore, by plane.
On the other hand, the main international airport in Spain is Madrid airport. In the case you decide to fly to Madrid, you can still take a domestic flight from Madrid to Valencia or you can also arrive to Valencia by High Speed Train (AVE) or by Bus.
By plane
The airport is connected with the center of the city through Metro line 5 (“Airport/Torrent Avinguda - Neptú”) and line 3 (“Airport/Palmaret - Rafelbunyol”) with a frequency of approximately every 10-20 minutes. If you plan to go directly from the airport to the workshop venue, we suggest you take a taxi, following the instructions given above. In the case, your international flight ends at Madrid, but you are still interested in taking a domestic flight from Madrid to Valencia, there are very convenient fares if you buy the tickets sufficiently in advance. You can book them at Iberia or Air Europa.
