Spain has an extensive and efficient transport system. The AVE high-speed trains connect major cities quickly, while regional trains and buses are great for smaller towns.
In cities, metros, buses, and taxis are reliable–get a transport pass for savings in many of the big cities. Rideshare apps like Uber and Cabify are available but not as dominant as local taxis.
Renting a car is ideal for countryside explorations but avoid driving in big cities where parking is a nightmare (Seville, we’re looking at you). If you’re island-hopping, ferries connect the Balearic and Canary Islands.
It’s worth planning your travels before you buy a transport pass or hire a car, though: many Spanish cities are best explored on foot (Madrid, Barcelona, Seville) or via e-bikes, which you’ll find dotted throughout the most popular spots and usable via apps.
