Vigo to Santiago de Compostela

[ann141]

We are visiting Vigo in April and want to go to Santiago de Compostela. We will probably go on the ships excursion as it seems difficult to get to on your own via train. However i would be interested to know if anyone has made their own way there and tips etc if thats what we choose to do

 

Thanks

You are more likely to get info if you look over on the Spain board, here:

Thank you Cruise Bruce

 

I have reposted the question on the Spanish ports forum

If you Google Renfe, the Spanish National railway network you will see there are frequent trains from Vigo to Santiago. The journey takes about an hour and a half and the website is (mostly) in English..

Renting a car is also an option which would let you see something of the countryside, but parking in the Centro Historico is very difficult. You'd be able to park at the station and then taxi. I'd advise getting a rental with GPS.

HTH:)
