Renfe Media Distancia from Mérida, Badajoz and Madrid · on Avenida Juan Pablo II, beside the bus station

The train station is on Avenida Juan Pablo II, south of the centre, and the bus station, on Calle Túnez, is very close. From both it is about 2 km to the Plaza Mayor: half an hour on foot or a short taxi ride. Renfe Media Distancia links Cáceres with Mérida, Badajoz and Madrid.
The station
Turismo de Extremadura places the station at Avenida Juan Pablo II 6, and gives 924 271 170 as the contact number. The listing marks it as accessible: access for people with disabilities, reserved parking, adapted restaurant and toilets, and guide dogs are admitted. It does not publish opening or ticket office hours; buy your ticket on the Renfe website or app so as not to depend on it, especially on early or night trains.
Destinations
The Renfe line between Madrid and Badajoz passes through Cáceres, with medium-distance services that also link it with Mérida. Before travelling, check the timetables on Renfe: in Extremadura there are line improvement works fairly often and Renfe sometimes organises alternative road services, which it publishes on its notices page.
On arrival
It is about two kilometres to the Plaza Mayor. On foot it is about half an hour; with luggage, a taxi is the most practical. There is also a municipal city bus: check the council's line viewer to see which one brings you closest to the centre. If you arrive at night, check the last bus time beforehand or ask for a taxi.
The bus station is on Calle Túnez, very close, in case you need to continue by road to towns in the province that have no train; you will find it in the bus station listing.
Organising the visit
First, stop by the tourist office on the Plaza Mayor to ask for the map and the day's hours for churches and museums. From there you cross the Arco de la Estrella and enter the monumental city: the Santa María co-cathedral, the Golfines de Abajo palace and Plaza de San Jorge are a few minutes away. If you only have one day, the two-and-a-half-hour guided tour leaves from the Plaza Mayor.
For lunch on arrival, the Figón de Eustaquio is on Plaza de San Juan, beside the monumental city, and the Torre de Sande occupies a 15th-century palace.
