Getting to the city
The fastest way into Granada is usually a taxi or prebooked transfer from Federico Garcia Lorca airport, while buses and shared shuttles can take longer depending on traffic and stops, so allow extra time if you choose a slower option and confirm the return service before you leave the terminal.
