Get around the city

You can go by taxi, but this is only worth it if you are going some way and are in a big hurry, because the circulation in the centre of Pamplona is very complicated at San Fermin. It is true that taxis can get into the areas reserved for public transport, and for the elderly or disabled this might be a solution. The prices are official and are measured with a taximeter, you cannot haggle. In addition, taxis don't usually stop in the street in Pamplona, so if you raise your hand they will probably wave back, but not stop. The usual thing is to get them on their ranks or call Tele Taxi San Fermín 948 35 13 35 and Radio Taxi 948 23 23 00.

The urban bus network is fairly efficient, although at certain times there is certain "piling up" because everyone tries to catch the bus at the same time. Their frequency is very reasonable, and ranges from ten-fifteen minutes to half an hour on the longest routes. It is important to remember that there are special buses throughout the night that go to the districts and municipalities of the local region.

It is also important to check the names of the destinations, as, for example, the bus that goes to the railway station puts (RENFE) and not the railway station itself. It passes through the centre of the festival next to paseo de Sarasate and goes to the station.

If you are staying in a district, these buses will save you awful strolls multiplied by the winding you will have to do. Sometimes there are also very amusing scenes on these buses, live theatre put on by the passengers themselves. We recommend you use this service. Oh, and by the way, in Pamplona we call the urban buses "villavesas". There is a customer attention telephone with the Urban Transport Service of the Pamplona Region Association (+34 901 50 25 03).
