From there Valencian Railways offer a tram service that provides onward travel with 13 trains daily from Valencia to Alicante and Denia along the coast.

Trains from Valencia Airport take just 15 minutes to reach the main train station in the city center; reaching other city center locations – like the port for example - takes a little longer but within 25 minutes travelers will have reached the most important destinations within the city limits.

The two metro lines leaving the airport do not just cover the city center, but a large number of other destinations. Metro line 3 travels to the ultimate destination of Xàtiva, but in between the trains also stops at Machado, Manises, Meliana, Mislata, Quart de Poblet, Rafelbunyol and Salt de l'Aigua among others.

Metro line 5 is also destined for Xàtiva, but stops at districts like Aragón, Colón, Manises, Mislata, Paiporta, Sant Isidere and Valencia Sud among others.

It is hoped that Valencia’s high speed rail connections will include many more Spanish cities, but for now the only "fast" connections easily available are to the capital Madrid and to Barcelona.
