Train details

Take AVE/AVLO from Madrid Puerta de Atocha-Almudena Grandes to Valencia Joaquin Sorolla. Travel time 1h50-2h. At arrival, a shuttle connects Joaquin Sorolla to Estacion del Norte. Trains are best in daytime if you travel light and your hotels are near the stations.

Bus details

Buses depart from Estacion Sur (Mendez Alvaro) and some services from Barajas T4. Arrival is at Valencia bus station (near the Turia metro). Expect 4h30-5h30. Good for budget travelers.

• Early/late flights or remote addresses far from stations
• Travelers with lots of luggage or oversized items
• Accessibility needs requiring a ramp-equipped van

Local tips

• Peak traffic leaving Madrid occurs weekday mornings and Sunday evenings; allow extra time.
• If you plan to sightsee en route (e.g., lunch in Requena), let us know to schedule and price it fairly.
• In Valencia, many streets are narrow; door-to-door service saves time vs hauling bags from stations.

Whichever option you choose, plan ahead in high season. For maximum comfort and a guaranteed schedule, book your door-to-door minivan with Transfer Valencia 24.
