Accommodation / Transport

Zaragoza is medium-sized working Spanish city situated about halfway between Madrid and Barcelona and is the capital of the region of Aragón. The city has a population of about 750,000 and although it is off the normal tourist trail for Spain, it has a fascinating Roman, Moorish and Christian heritage which is reflected the historic monuments and buildings that are now integrated into its contemporary make-up.

The University of San Jorge helps students find suitable accommodation by providing information on university residences, student halls, and other housing alternatives in Zaragoza. It also offers access to specialized platforms for finding apartments and rooms, enabling students to choose the option that best fits their needs and preferences.

The city

The city is a safe and economical alternative to other more touristic destinations in Spain and visitors are always given a warm welcome by the locals. The large student population makes for a diverse cultural agenda, a lively nightlife and a broad variety of sports and open-air activities.

The city offers a broad range of food, from Aragonese specialities and typical Spanish tapas to modern international cuisine, proudly boasts its own independent, family-run brewery, and is at the centre of the four Aragonese Designation of Origin wine-producing regions.

Public transport

Zaragoza has one tram line that runs from the north to the south of the city and an extensive bus service that reaches all parts of the city.

Users must buy a rechargeable "Tarjeta Bus" and validate it before each ride, it is valid to travel by bus and by tram. You can check how much money you have left on your card and also charge it, at any of the machines located at tram stops and at different points throughout the city (banks, newsagents, shopping centres, council offices etc.).

International fights

Zaragoza has an airport with a limited number of scheduled international flights to destinations such as London (United Kingdom), Milan (Italy), Brussels (Belgium), Paris (France), Bucharest (Romania) and Cluj-Napoca (Romania). To get to the city centre from the airport you can use the shuttle bus service (no. 501) which leaves from the arrivals terminal or catch a taxi which will cost you around 25.00€.

Travelling from Madrid and Barcelona

If you are travelling from a city not served by Zaragoza airport, our recommendation would be to fly to either Madrid Barajas Adolfo Suárez airport or Barcelona El Prat airport and then take the high speed train (AVE) to Zaragoza from Atocha-Puerta station in Madrid or Sants station in Barcelona.

In both cases, the journey to Zaragoza takes about 1½ hours and one or two trains leave for Zaragoza every hour. It’s advisable to buy your train ticket online in advance, leaving enough time to get to the mainline station from the corresponding airport (1½ hours from the arrival time of your flight).

If you book your ticket in advance, the train ticket to Zaragoza also includes the shuttle-train service from Madrid Barajas Adolfo Suárez airport to Atocha station or from Barcelona El Prat airport to Sants station. At the ticket machines located at the both airport stations you have to use the ‘Combinado Cercanías’ reference number that you will find on your AVE ticket, in order to obtain the shuttle-train ticket.

Once you arrive a Zaragoza-Delicias station you can reach your final destination by taking one of the various local buses that leave from the station or by catching a taxi at the taxi rank outside the station.

There are also regular coach services from Madrid and Barcelona to Zaragoza, including a direct route from Madrid Barajas Adolfo Suárez airport to Zaragoza.
