Flying to Santiago de Compostela: tips and information for your trip
Discover the beauty of northwestern Spain with a flight to Santiago de Compostela. As the capital of Galicia and one of Spain’s most historic pilgrimage sites, Santiago de Compostela marks the end of the famous Way of St. James. The city’s sacred shrine and magnificent Cathedral of Santiago have also earned UNESCO World Heritage status. Beyond its spiritual allure, visitors will be captivated by the city’s graceful architecture, picturesque old town and delicious cuisine.
As the historic seat of an archbishop, Santiago de Compostela blends modern city life with its deeply rooted pilgrimage tradition. Its origins go back to the discovery of the Apostle’s tomb in the 9th century, and the church built on that site grew into the world-famous pilgrimage center it is today. After you land, be sure to begin with a visit to the awe-inspiring Cathedral, before strolling through Alameda Park or exploring the striking Galician Centre for Contemporary Art.

Santiago de Compostela Airport (SCQ) is located about 9 miles (15 kilometers) northeast of the city center. The ride takes around 20 minutes by taxi or rental car, or about 30 minutes by bus.
Santiago has an extensive bus network, but taxis, rental cars and bicycles are also great options for getting from A to B. As most sights are only a 20–40-minute walk from each other, Santiago is ideal for exploring on foot.
After your flight to Santiago de Compostela: information and tips
