Getting to the city
Santiago de Compostela Airport is the city's own airport, so the transfer is a road journey rather than another flight, and that makes the last leg of your trip easier to plan. Bus and taxi are the usual ways into the centre; compare the last service before you book a late arrival, and allow time for traffic and security. Avoid assuming you can walk it, and do not leave the terminal without checking the return service if you are flying back the same way.
