Paseo de la Estación · Renfe trains from Madrid and Salamanca · east of the old town

Ávila train station is on Paseo de la Estación, on the east side of the city, outside the wall. It has Renfe long- and medium-distance trains; for Madrid and Salamanca, which are the most usual journeys, check times, duration and prices at renfe.com or on the Renfe app, because they vary by day and type of train.
Station services
According to Renfe, the station is open every day from 5:30 to 0:30. It has a ticket office, ticket machines and customer service, toilets and a food outlet. It is accessible and has the Acerca assistance service for travellers with reduced mobility, which you request from Renfe in advance. There is a taxi rank at the door and car hire at the station.
From the train to the wall
From the station to the old town you walk: the route is easy to follow and takes you towards the Basilica of San Vicente, which is outside the wall, next to the gate of the same name. If you would rather not walk, take a taxi from the rank or call Radio Taxi Ávila on 920 353 545.
The first useful stop is the Visitor Reception Centre, at Avenida de Madrid, 39, opposite San Vicente. It is open every day, from 9:00 to 18:00 in winter and from 9:00 to 20:00 in summer, and there they give you the official map and sell tickets for the wall and the Ávila Card, a 48-hour card that gives one entry to each monument included: €15 for the individual one and €29 for the family one, with children up to 12.
A day by train
If you are coming for the day, start with the walk along the wall walkway, which in winter is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:15, and closed on Mondays; admission costs €8 and is free on Tuesdays from 14:00 to 16:00. Then the cathedral, whose apse is part of the wall itself, and the Monastery of Santo Tomás, outside the wall. Before heading back, cross the Adaja to the Cuatro Postes viewpoint to see the whole wall; to get there from the station, a taxi is best.
If you would rather not walk, the City Council recommends two tourist transports that tour the monuments inside and outside the wall with commentary in several languages: a tuk-tuk (692 695 572) and the tourist tram. To sleep close to the wall without depending on a car, the Hostal Puerta del Alcázar and the Hostería Las Cancelas are in the old town.
