There are no direct international flights to Pamplona.
We therefore recommend flying from the UK with either
Ryanair to Vitoria, Zaragoza and Biarritz or with BA / Iberia and EasyJet
to
Bilbao. Coming from outside the UK, you can fly to Bilbao or indeed to
Barcelona or Madrid where internal flights can be connected to Pamplona
itself.
See area
map for an idea of distances to Pamplona.
• Flying to Vitoria, Zaragoza and Biarritz
Ryanair flies to these three cities from the UK.
From Vitoria airport you can take a taxi or bus
to Vitoria town centre and then a bus direct to Pamplona. The bus takes
about 90
minutes and during Sanfermines more buses are laid on. There
is an information desk at the airport that can help you (and they speak
English).

bus route maps and timetables from Vitoria to Pamplona.
From Zaragoza airport you can take a bus to Zaragoza town
centre or a taxi (recommended - ˆ15) and then change for a direct
bus or train to Pamplona. The bus takes 2 hours. Again there is an English
speaking information desk at the airport
with all the details.

maps and timetables from Zaragoza to Pamplona.
From Biarritz hiring a car is the only realistic option.
• Flying to Bilbao
BA, Iberia and Easyjet as well as several other International airlines, all
fly to Bilbao from the UK and elsewhere.
There are buses from Bilbao to Pamplona. Click here for
bus route maps and timetables from Bilbao to Pamplona.
• Flying to Pamplona
You can only fly into Pamplona (PNA Noain airport) via Iberia, or it's subsidiary
Air Nostrum, with connections from Madrid and Barcelona.
• Car Rental
Cars can obviously be rented in Bilbao, Vitoria, San Sebastian
and Pamplona (advance reservation advised). National-Atesa, Europcar,
Avis and Hertz
are the three companies with offices in Pamplona itself.
Parking in Pamplona during the festival has always been difficult.The city
has designated the majority of street parking spaces as paid parking only,
so if you are parked in a blue zone, there is a time limit, and it is enforced
24 hours a day. We advise you to drop your rental car off when you arrive
and pick up another car when you leave. Rental cars can be dropped off at
either the airport or at a downtown location.
