Valencia Airport (VLC) is the airport for Valencia, on Spain's Mediterranean coast, and for the surrounding Valencian Community. It stands in Manises, about 8 km (5 miles) west of Valencia city center, beside the A-3 highway to Madrid and close to the A-7 coastal route.
Most traffic is international. Ryanair, Vueling and Wizz Air fly the most routes, to cities across Spain and Europe, while Iberia and its regional partner Air Nostrum link Valencia with Madrid and other Spanish cities. Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, easyJet, Transavia, Volotea and Binter Canarias add flights to Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, London and the Canary Islands. The airport handled about 11.8 million passengers in 2025.
All flights use one terminal, built in stages and joined inside, with a single security area leading to gates 1 to 22. Gates 1 to 4 handle non-Schengen flights, and a regional hall at gates 12 to 22 has the Metrovalencia station on its ground floor.
From the airport, most travelers head into Valencia's old town, the City of Arts and Sciences, the Malvarrosa beaches and the port, or on to the city's train stations. Others continue south to Benidorm and the Costa Blanca or north to Castellón.

Valencia has one terminal, so there is no terminal to choose: after baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals hall. Lost property and medical services are inside the terminal if you need them.
For the city, follow the signs to the Metro: lines 3 and 5 leave from the station on the ground floor of the regional terminal, about every 15 minutes on weekdays, with a Metrovalencia information office in arrivals. Line 150 buses run into the city, and official taxis wait at the rank outside. Pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall.
