How to Get from Bordeaux Airport to Bordeaux?

The Bordeaux-Merignac Airport is only 13 km or 8 mi away from the city.

There are a few ways to reach the city centre from the airport:

Public bus – €1.70

Take bus number 1 at a bus stop located between Hall A and Hall B of the airport. You can buy a magnetic ticket at the machine right by the bus stop or pay cash to a driver. Drivers do not accept large bills. As you enter a bus tap your ticket at one of the screens marked TBM. There is no extra charge for luggage.

The bus will take you about an hour. It makes many stops along the way, which is frankly quite annoying. Get off at Centre Commercial Mériadeck or Palais de Justice to go to the historic centre. The bus makes its final stop at the railway station, Gare St. Jean.
