How to get from Marbella airport to the city centre?
After your flights to Marbella land in Malaga, you’ll need to choose one of the few options available to finish your journey and arrive at your accommodation in Marbella. A convenient and affordable choice is to go to the bus stops opposite arrivals and either look for the bus you need, or go just to the left of the stops to the ticket office. Since you’ll need to buy a ticket for your journey anyway it is easier to speak to the people at the ticket office and ask them which bus number to look out for.
There is a non-stop bus which goes all the way to the Marbella centre. Failing that you can rent a car from the airport, however if you aren’t anticipating yourself to drive around other than back to the airport this will most likely be a hindrance. Finally you could get a taxi, this won’t be cheap though but if there are a few of you travelling together the price split between you is rather reasonable.
