Every way to get here
By car
The most convenient option, and the one most visitors choose. From Castellon, the CV-20 leads directly to Onda along a conventional road with dual-carriageway stretches.

Coming via the AP-7 motorway, exit onto the CV-20 and follow the signs into town.
By bus
Autobuses Furió (Transvía group) runs the Castellon-Onda line, with stops at the Renfe station, the Hospital General de la Plana and the UJI university campus, which makes it convenient if you arrive by train or are coming from the university. There is no direct line from Valencia: you need to change in Castellon. Frequency drops at weekends, so it is worth checking timetables before you travel. Info: +34 964 600 100.
By train
Onda has no railway station of its own. The nearest is Castellon de la Plana, well connected to Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid by Media Distancia and Avant services. From there, the journey continues by bus (the Furió line) or by taxi, about 30 minutes. Vila-real, with a commuter rail stop, is another option if the Castellon timetable does not suit, though it also requires a connecting bus or taxi for the final leg.
By plane
The most practical airport is Valencia (VLC), about 70 km away, with the widest range of domestic and international routes in the area. Castellon-Costa Azahar Airport is closer, at 30 km, but its route network is far more limited. From either airport, the best option is to hire a car or book a taxi transfer, as there is no direct public transport to Onda.
