Gerona Airport is situated aproximately 12 kms south of Gerona. It is well connected to the Costa Brava resorts including Blanes, Lloret de Mar or Estartit and is only a 40 minute drive from the French border. As Gerona Airport is situated on the Costa Brava, it is an important hub for travellers in the north eastern part of Spain. It is a major hub for the low cost airline Ryanair who is the most important budget airline for flights to and from Gerona Airport, mainly from the United Kingdom and Ireland. There are more than 15 UK airports from where you can fly to Gerona and from Ireland you can fly to Gerona from Dublin and Shannon.
Car hire at Gerona Airport is a perfect way to get around. There are very good roads which connect Gerona Airport to all major tourist destinations on the Costa Brava and the toll motorway which connects the airport with France. The majority of the car hire desks which include Avis, Europcar, Aurigacrown, Goldcar, Hertz and National Atesa can easily be found when you exit the baggage reclaim area. Barcelona is only a one hour drive away and the beautiful coastal towns of Palamos, Lloret de Mar, Blanes and Tossa de Mar are all within a 30 minute drive. When you are returning to Gerona Airport to drop off your rental all you have to do is follow the car hire return signs that will take you straight into the car hire car parks just around the front of the airport terminal.
You will find a tourist information desk with plenty of details on the area and in particular Girona in the connecting walkway between arrivals and departures. The taxi rank is located outside the terminal building, not far from the bus stops which are just 50 metres down the road.
Bus services at Gerona Airport have been increased due to the fact, that many people use Gerona Airport as an alternative airport for Barcelona Airport. The high demand from passengers wanting to get into the city centre of Barcelona which is a journey of just over an hour depending on traffic is the main reason for the increase and bus timetables tend to coincide with departures and arrivals at Girona airport.
