Vigo Airport (VGO)

Vigo-Peinador Airport features a modern single terminal building that efficiently serves the Galicia region. The compact terminal layout ensures walking distances of just 2-3 minutes between check-in, security, and gates, making it particularly passenger-friendly for connections. The terminal offers panoramic views of the Galician countryside and features regional artwork celebrating local culture. Security screening is typically quick outside peak summer and holiday periods, though fog-related delays are common during winter months due to the airport's location near the Atlantic coast. The terminal includes duty-free shopping focused on Galician wines and local products, several cafes serving regional cuisine including pulpo (octopus) specialties, and comfortable seating areas with charging stations. Ground transportation is well-organized with regular bus services to Vigo city center (20 minutes), taxi ranks with fixed pricing, and rental car facilities. During summer months, additional charter flights to beach destinations increase passenger volumes, so allow extra time for security and check-in. The airport's single runway and terminal design make it an ideal hub for exploring both coastal Rías Baixas and inland Galician attractions.
