When to Book Your Transfer
For the bus: Just show up. For taxis: Use the official stand (not apps – they’re scams). For private transfers: Book 48 hours ahead via Transfers A Coruña (€38 for two people). I’ve used them twice – they meet you at baggage claim with your name tag, no waiting.
Watch Out For:
Don’t book "airport transfer" packages through third-party sites – they often add €15–€20 in hidden fees. Always check if your hotel offers free pickup (San Nicolas does, but Hotel Vïa AetcaL doesn’t).
Final Action Plan
1. Book your bus ticket online (€2.20) or buy cash at the airport kiosk.
2. If staying at Hotel Praza Quintana or Altair, walk 10–15 minutes from the bus stop.
3. For groups or late flights, pre-book a private transfer via Transfers A Coruña (€38–€45).
4. Skip the taxi scams: Use the official stand only.
After 15 years of travel across Spain, I’ve seen A Coruña’s airport transfers get better – but the bus remains the only honest option. You’ll save €15–€30 and avoid a stress headache. Now, go explore the seafood at El Paseo and skip the tourist traps near the port.

How to Get from A Coruña Airport (LCG) to Your Hotel: The Real Cost Breakdown
After missing my flight from A Coruña Airport (LCG) last winter because I took a tourist taxi at €45 instead of the €2.20 bus, I now always book transfers in advance. The cheapest, fastest route to the city center is the Line 1 bus: €2.20 per person, 25 minutes, and runs every 30 minutes from 6:30 AM to 11:30 PM. Taxis from the official stand cost €18–€22 to most hotels – but avoid the ones outside the terminal.
Cost Comparison: Bus vs. Taxi vs. Private Transfer
| Option | Cost (€) | Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bus (Line 1) | 2.20 | 25 min | Budget travelers, solo backpackers |
| Taxi (Official Stand) | 18–22 | 20 min | Groups, late-night arrivals |
| Pre-booked Private Transfer | 35–45 | 25 min | First-time visitors, families |
Where to Stay: Airport Transfer Tips for Top Hotels
If you're booking a hotel near the city center, the bus stops 5 minutes from all recommended properties. Here’s my top pick based on my 3 visits:
- Hotel Praza Quintana (4.6★, 541 reviews): Right on the main square, 10-minute walk from the bus stop. Ideal for history lovers – it’s steps from the Roman ruins and seafood bars. Book for €85–€120/night in low season (October–March).
- Hotel Altair (4.7★, 284 reviews): 15-minute walk from the bus stop, near the harbor. Best for cruise passengers – €90–€140/night, includes breakfast. Avoid weekends: it fills fast.
- San Nicolas (4.8★, 94 reviews): 20-minute walk from the bus stop, in a quiet residential area. Perfect for couples – €75–€110/night, with free airport pickup if booked directly.
- For budget stays, Hostel SP 55 (4.9★, 11 reviews) is 12 minutes from the bus stop via a 5-minute walk. Dorm beds start at €20/night – but book ahead as it’s only 15 rooms.
