Celta train (Vigo–Porto): from 6/4/2026 to 7/4/2027 the section between Vigo-Guixar and Valença runs by bus, non-stop, because of Adif works; in Valença you change to the train. Same ticket and same timetable, according to CP. Times in the tables are Spanish time: Portugal is one hour behind. Sources: CP, in RTP and LUSA (23/03/2026); Atlántico Diario (08/08/2026).
Taxi or pre-booked transfer
If you arrive late, there are several of you or you do not want to wait: a taxi from Santiago airport to the city costs €23 (indicative fare published by Santiago Tourism). For distant destinations you can book a car with driver at a fixed price before you leave; these two sell it online: Kiwitaxi (affiliate link · same price) and GetTransfer (affiliate link · same price). I do not publish their prices because they depend on the day and the number of people: ask for a quote.
