The airport
Small, quick, and seasonal
Girona airport sits about 12 km south of the city of Girona, next to the AP-7 motorway that leads to the border at La Jonquera. It has one terminal, so there is no risk of going to the wrong building. The flight offer varies a lot between summer and winter: check your airline’s timetable for your dates.
For people living in the Roussillon it is often the nearest airport with flights to the rest of Europe, as Perpignan airport has few routes. Our guide Which airport for the South of France? compares the options.

Public transport
No train: a bus first, then a train
There is no railway station at the airport. To travel on by rail you take a bus to Girona, then a train from Girona station towards Figueres and France. Bus and train timetables change with the season and the day of the week, so check them with the operators before you travel, especially for late arrivals.
With children, a lot of luggage or a late flight, those two connections add up. A private transfer goes from arrivals to your door in one vehicle.
