Quick guide to getting from Zaragoza-Delicias station to the city centre: distance, buses, taxi and the most convenient transport options.
Have you just stepped off your OUIGO at Zaragoza-Delicias and you’re not quite sure how to get into the city centre? Don’t worry — you’re definitely not the first, and you won’t be the last. The station isn’t exactly right next to El Pilar, but getting to the heart of the city is easier than it looks. Whether you go by bus, taxi, commuter rail or even on foot (if you fancy the walk and you’re travelling light), this guide runs through all the options so you can choose the one that suits you best. You just need to decide whether you want to prioritise speed, saving money or comfort. Let’s get into it.
How far is Zaragoza-Delicias from the city centre?
First things first: Zaragoza-Delicias station isn’t right in the centre, but it’s not on the other side of the city either. We’re talking about roughly 3 kilometres, depending on exactly which part of the centre you’re heading to. Because “the centre” can mean quite a few things: Plaza de España, Paseo de la Independencia, Plaza del Pilar or the area around the Old Town.
The good news is that, whichever means of transport you choose, the journey is fairly short. By taxi or commuter rail you’ll be there in no time, and there are also some very handy direct bus connections.
Options for getting from Zaragoza-Delicias to the centre
Going by commuter rail
If speed is your thing and you’re not carrying too many bags, commuter rail is one of the quickest ways to get yourself into central areas such as Zaragoza-Goya. In just a few minutes, you’ll be right in the middle of things — no traffic and no need to think about parking.
Pro tip: Check service availability for your arrival time, as frequencies may vary.
Going by urban bus
This is the cheapest option. Bus lines from Zaragoza-Delicias station connect with several parts of the city centre, and it’s a practical way to get there without blowing your holiday budget on transport.
Useful lines: 34, 51 and CI3 usually stop at the station and have stops near Mercado Central, Paseo Pamplona, Plaza de España and the Old Town. That said, always check the latest route before you hop on.
Pro tip: Ideal if you’re not in a huge rush and your accommodation is well connected.
Going by taxi or VTC
Are you carrying luggage, travelling in a group or do you simply want to get straight to your hotel door? Then a taxi or VTC is the most comfortable option. No changes, no waiting around, no hassle.
Pro tip: If you’ve got awkward luggage or simply can’t face dealing with more transport, this is your best bet.
Going on foot
Technically, yes — you can walk, and it’s the most eco-friendly and fitness-focused option. But depending on your destination, the journey can easily take around 30-40 minutes. If you’ve got heavy bags or you’re arriving tired, you may want to skip this one.
That said, if you’re travelling light, you’ve got time and you fancy discovering the city from minute one, go for it.
