Discover the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees by bus

Whether you come by plane, want to leave your car at home or simply don’t drive one, visiting the towns and enjoying the sea and mountain landscapes on the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees is a possibility within everyone’s reach with the routes and connections by bus around the territory, offered by companies such as Teisa and Moventis. Before travelling, check their websites or download their mobile apps, where you can look at the timetables and buy tickets easily. Please be aware that during high season it’s important to book in advance as the bus routes can be in high demand, especially in coastal areas during the summer and ski areas in the winter.

Whether from El Prat Airport or from the centre of Barcelona, getting to Girona, visiting the towns of the Costa Brava or spending a day skiing in the Pyrenees, travelling by bus is a comfortable, fast and sustainable way to get around. Moventis offers you three lines that connect the airport with Barcelona and the Costa Brava, making stops in Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Vidreres, Palafrugell, La Bisbal d’Empordà, Roses, Cadaqués and L’Escala, among other towns around the Baix Empordà and Alt Empordà.

Getting to the Girona-Costa Brava Airport and arriving at your accommodation quickly is also easy thanks to Moventis. Once you’re there, travelling from Girona or any other town within the region is also a very simple. The more than 50 lines of the Teisa intercity bus, with schedules adapted to each time of year, are ideal for travelling from Girona towards the interior of the province to discover the villages of La Cerdanya, such as Puigcerdà or Llívia, during the ski season in the Pyrenees or even beyond it. Likewise, you will be able to discover La Garrotxa and its volcanoes with the Les Preses-Olot-Santa Pau route.

If you like, you can also use the city buses, which link Girona with surrounding towns like Salt, Sarrià de Ter or Sant Julià de Ramis; as well as Banyoles, with the towns of Fontcoberta and Camós, in the region of Pla de l’Estany. As well as this, Teisa also offers a shuttle bus between Figueres and the high speed train station (AVE) of Vilafant.

During the ski season, the Teisa ski bus and the Generalitat of Catalonia railways (FGC) will take you from Girona to the Vallter 2000 station, with stops in Banyoles, Olot, Camprodon and Setcases.

For lovers of cycle tourism, there is nothing like pedalling through the main Greenways on a mountain, gravel, electric or road bike, going up the Bike-Bus, a direct, fast coach equipped with a trailer designed to carry up to 20 bicycles. A regular transport service that runs two routes. There is the Girona-Olot route, for you to be able to enjoy the volcanic area of La Garrotxa, Hostoles Castle or the pastures of Salt, following the route of the Carrilet until the Vall del Ter and Girona. Then there is the Girona-Sant Feliu de Guíxols route, which is ideal for families with small children, thanks to the gentle slopes at several points along the route, which passes through several towns such as Quart, Llambilles, Cassà de la Selva, Llagostera and Santa Cristina d’Aro.

So, now’s the time to plan your next bus adventure! Take advantage of public transport to explore the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees in a responsible and sustainable way.
