It sits about 27 km northwest of the city center, with the fastest option by shuttle or express coach taking roughly 25–35 minutes; regional buses and taxis typically take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with taxi fares noticeably higher than buses. Car hire and parking are widely available for those wanting flexibility. Pros: modern facilities and direct links to regional destinations; cons: further from downtown than some European city airports and peak-period road congestion can add travel time.
