City Information
Essential Information about the city
Málaga Airport (AGP)
Málaga Airport, officially known as Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), is situated approximately 10 kilometres from the city centre. For convenient transportation to the centre of Malaga, the A Express line bus offers a direct route with 10 stops along the way, taking about 15-25 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. Buses run every 15-25 minutes until midnight, with additional services at 12:45 am, 2 am, and 5:05 am. Alternatively, travellers can opt for the Cercanias train from the airport's train station, which connects to Malaga city centre in about 12 minutes. Trains operate from 6:44 am until 12:54 am, running every 20-35 minutes based on the time of day. Taxis are also available outside the airport.
Passport/Visa
Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.
Best Time to Visit
Malaga enjoys a pleasant climate nearly all year round, with mild winters and summers that can get relatively hot in July and August. The best time to visit the city is during spring, when temperatures are most comfortable, or the summer months for a beach-focused vacation.
Public Transport
In Malaga, public transportation primarily comprises buses, although Metro Malaga has extended to the city centre and offers some alternative stops. Walking is still the best way to see Malaga's attractions. For those looking to explore the coastal areas, the Cercanías trains offer easy access to nearby towns and beaches.
Taxi
Taxis are booked via Taxi en Malaga, but it is just as easy to hail one on the street. Alternatively, you can go to one of the city’s taxi ranks or opt for an Uber. Taxi en Malaga: +34 640 22 43 81
