Marbella Train Station: What You Need to Know

Let’s skip to the chase: there is NO train station in Marbella!

Why?

Because the train network doesn’t run any further south than Fuengirola. Fuengirola is the last stop on the local commuter train line C1, which runs between Malaga and Fuengirola.

If you plan to take the train from Malaga city or the airport, fear not. There are other options available to you!

Malaga City to Marbella

From Malaga City center you have a few more travel options to Marbella.

The buses from the central bus station (located across the road from Malaga Maria Zambrano train station) are your best bet if you’re using public transport. There are much more frequent buses running daily than the airport stop.
