- How to get there
If you're wondering how to get to Marbella, Costa del Sol you have come to the right place.
It is located in the heart of the Malaga Coastline, and it is a city in which you can arrive by plane from the Malaga airport, by car, bus, taxi, or rental car.
If you have arrived at Malaga Airport and have decided to rent a car, getting into Marbella is easy. Simply leave the airport and follow signs for the A-7, (the old N-340) towards Cadiz - Algeciras, until you find the exit for Marbella.
First you will pass Torremolinos, Benalmadena and then just before you get to Fuengirola you can choose between the toll motorway AP-7 or continue on the A-7 (old N-340).
Remember that you can reserve your car rental in advance here at Costasur.com, saving you the queues and any potential drawbacks to your arrival at Malaga.
If you like landscapes, the A-7 is your choice, as it runs for quite a long stretch of the coast and looks out across the Sierra de Mijas.
However if you are in a rush to get to Marbella, the AP-7 toll motorway will get you there quickly.
Although many travellers point out that there is not much difference in terms of arrival time between the two roads, during the summer the A-7 may suffer traffic jams, while the AP-7 is easier.
If you are coming from Cadiz, will also make reference to the N-340 or AP-7, this time in Malaga.
If you prefer, there is also bus service, just leave the terminal 3 of the airport and go to the bus stop that is situated at the front of the building.
There is only one, so you cannot go wrong.
The buses are run by the Portillo bus company, and they take you to the station in Marbella in less than an hour.
The train is also an option but not recommended because the Renfe line only goes as far as Fuengirola, from which you will need to catch a bus to get to Marbella.
