The most timesaving manner of getting to Lourdes is to travel by plane. This is possible by means of the Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées International Airport. The venue is located only 10 kilometers north from Lourdes, being directly linked to the town by RN21.
Another alternative in terms of traveling by air is to land (or to take off) from the Pau-Pyrénées Airport. It is located 7 kilometers north from Pau and 35 kilometers northwest from Lourdes.
Lourdes has fine direct connections in terms of railroad infrastructure with major cities such as Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille, Lyon, Montpellier, and Geneva, for instance. From Paris to Lourdes, trains need about 5 hours and 30 minutes to cover the distance, with a call at Tarbes. The train station in Lourdes is located within a few hundreds meters from the center of the town.
The A10 Motorway is the best main alternative to get to Lourdes from major cities like Paris, Tours, and Bordeaux. From Bordeaux one can either resort to A63, go south and then exit on A64 or resort to A62, drive southeast and then exit on A64 from Toulouse. Spain has fine road connections to Lourdes, with main cross border points at Irun (and then take E80) at west, and nearby Boulou (and then resort to A9) at east.
