Passport & Visa

Spain can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, 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.

Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Public Transport

The historic city centre of Santiago de Compostela is small and most areas are closed to traffic. A good pair of shoes is therefore best for moving around in the historic town centre. There is also an extensive network of buses in Santiago de Compostela that can connect you to areas further afield. You can buy a single bus ticket, but it is cheaper in the long run to buy a travel card with 10, 20 or 30 trips.
