How to get to Badajoz

Travelling from the UK to and from Badajoz can be a challenge. Badajoz isn't exactly in the easiest to get to place. Located just next to the boarder with Portugal and in the most rural and isolated part of Spain limits transport options but there are still a few you can choose from.

Travelling by Plane

Although Badajoz does have it's own airport, flights aren't frequent (one or two a day at the peak of summer) and are only from one airline (helitt) from Spanish and sometimes Portuguese airports. The flights aren't the most expensive and are on a small plane frequently full of passengers.
These flights come from:

• Barcelona, 
• Madrid,
• Melila
• Malaga
• Victoria (Portugal)  

So the only real options are to fly into Barcelona or Madrid.

Travelling by Bus

Travelling by bus opens up a couple of other options for Airports. Both Sevilla and Lisbon are very close (around 2 and a half hours away). This is the most common way that I travel to and from Badajoz as it is cheaper and takes you right to the centre of the city rather than the outskirts where the Airport is.

Other options?

Of course you can hire a car and drop it off at the local point in Elvas (over the border in portugal) or even cycle across the country but I would imagine most people will choose to fly or take the bus. Trains still aren't the most common method of transport here.

I hope that helps. Drop me a message if you have any more questions about travelling to Badajoz
