Flight
Flights are usually cheapest into Madrid Airport and Barcelona-El Prat Airport. There are flights into Pamplona, however they are more expensive and not direct.
Train
If you don´t choose a direct flight to Pamplona, you are able to catch a train or a bus from the two major Spanish cities. It is a 3 hour journey from Madrid and about 4 hours from Barcelona. Here is Renfe´s website where you can book the train. Just know that tickets won't be available until about 3 to 5 months before the wedding.
Travel Note
Busses are also very common to take from Madrid and Barcelona, and can be more economical. They take about two to three hours longer than the train. Two major buses you can take are Jimenez Movilidad and Alsa- https://taquilla.jimenezmovilidad.es/
House Or Rental
There are some great Airbnbs in the old centre (Casco Viejo) of Pamplona. This is where the fiesta is! As a point of reference, la Plaza del Castillo is the most central point.

There are many hotels around Pamplona, but here are some of our recommendations, and that are well known: La Perla- This is for the Rich and Famous!

Travel Note
For people who are staying in San Fermin here are some acommodations we recomend: - Gestión de Alojamientos Y Servicios Inmobiliarios: https://www.alojamientosenpamplona.com/ - Alojamientos Acella: https://www.hostalacella.com/ These options are close to where we live. It's about a 15 minute walk from the center, and you won't have any noise when you go to bed. You can choose between rooms or apartments. If you are going to stay for the Running of the Bulls, you should book accommodation as early as possible- as prices are much higher during San Fermines. Remember Plaza del Castillo as a point of reference for the festival. Reach out to us directly if you would like help planning San Fermines!
