Car rental Vitoria Airport

The Vitoria Foronda Airport (VIT) is located about 8 km from the center of Vitoria-Gasteiz, capital of the Basque Country and European Green Capital 2012. The airport mainly serves cargo and limited domestic flights, but is a strategic access point for those who want to explore the Basque inland and Rioja Alavesa.

Vitoria is an elegant, liveable and surprisingly little-known city by international tourism. The medieval historic center has a unique almond shape, with concentric streets dating back to the 12th century. The Cathedral of Santa Maria, under restoration open to the public, inspired Ken Follett for his novel «The Pillars of the Earth». The green ring of urban parks surrounding the city is a model of sustainable urbanism. Car rental at Vitoria Airport is ideal for reaching the wineries of Rioja Alavesa and Basque nature.

What to see from Vitoria by rental car

The Gorbeia Natural Park, with its beech forests, waterfalls and the summit cross at 1,482 meters, is only 20 minutes away and perfect for hiking.

Bilbao with the Guggenheim is an hour away, San Sebastian an hour and a half.
