Planning a trip to Zamora

Eleven high-speed trains travel daily to and from Madrid. They take 1‒1.5 hours and cost 19€‒49€ each way. The train station is at Calle Alfonso Peña (tel. 90-232-03-20), about a 20-minute walk from the edge of the old town.

From Salamanca, there are six bus connections a day, costing 6.50€‒10€ and taking about an hour. The town’s bus station lies a few paces from the railway station at Calle Alfonso Peña, 3 (tel. 98-052-12-81). Call 90-202-00-52 for bus schedules and price information.

If you’re driving from Madrid, take the A-6 superhighway northwest toward Valladolid, cutting west on the N-VI and west again at the turnoff onto 122.
