The city has two key stations: Estación del Norte, a modernist gem for the commuter rail network, and Joaquín Sorolla Station, the major high-speed hub. In addition to connecting with Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, or Cordoba, Joaquín Sorolla offers connections to Europe, allowing travel by train from cities like Paris or Lyon via a quick transfer. Both stations are linked by a free shuttle bus and have direct access to the metro and city bus network.

Additionally, the station is perfectly integrated into the public transport network with metro and city bus stops for immediate transfer to any part of the city.
