Cities close to airports

[LoneFemaleTraveller]

Im looking at short and day trips around europe and wondering what are the most conveniently located to spend such a short time at?

Seville isn't easy from the uk

Actually scrub that...there were no direct flights when I went! Looks like you can fly with vueling now direct from London.

Seville is an easy transfer from Seville airport. We did a cheap 20 minute taxi ride after our flight from Gatwick. Perfect for a quick trip.

Palma is the easiest by far. Multiple daily flights from pretty much every UK airport and 15-20 minutes in a taxi at the other end. And it’s a lovely city.

Another vote for Copenhagen. It's quick and cheap on public transport using the metro.

Stockholm

Geneva. Spend some time by the lake.

Salzburg. The city centre (castle, cake and Kaiserschmarrn) is 10 minutes from the airport.

Copenhagen gets you 2 cities for the price of one as you can easily take the train over to Malmö for a day - and another half-hour gets you to Lund.

Girona, Alicante, Brindisi

EasyJet fly from Gatwick to Seville.

Geneva, Lyon, Rome, Venice

Amsterdam is 15 minutes from Schipol. You could also do The Hague or Delft or Rotterdam or Utrecht in under an hour from there.

Toulouse.

Served from Heathrow (BA), Gatwick (Easyjet), Stansted (Ryanair)

Shuttle bus between city and airport every 20 min, journey time 20-40 min depending.

(For info the tram link mentioned in some airport related sources is currently closed due to WIP on new metro link).

Krakow. We're going next week.

Lisbon. Download the Bolt app. Cheaper than Uber.

Basel. 10 minutes by bus.

Hamburg
Berlin
Munich
Amsterdam

All these have access to public transport at the airport with a short ride to the city

Valencia! So easy, compact, lots to do without being overwhelming, one of the best city beaches (warm waters of the Med) that you can just walk along for ages, stop for tapas. I go with my younger two (14 and 9) and it’s perfect. The transportation from the airport is a dream. It’s a combination of being totally relaxing and a lot of fun. It’s a city you can walk. Great cycling infrastructure too. Avoid in late summer though.

Having spent time on sky scanner today, i probably should have also added flights from manchester!

Last year I flew from Manchester with EasyJet or Ryanair fly to Seville, Venice, Naples, Verona, Malaga and Prague - think they all fit the bill.
