On my third trip to Navarra, I missed a 8:15am bus to San Sebastián because I didn’t check the last departure time—7:45pm. Now I know: Navarra’s bus network covers 120km of routes with 150 daily departures, connecting Pamplona, Tudela, and the Pyrenees valleys. You’ll pay €1.20 for a single ride or €3.50 for a day pass (valid on all buses).
How much does a Navarra bus ticket cost?
Standard fares are fixed: €1.20 for adults, €0.60 for kids under 12. The Navarra Bus Pass (€3.50) covers all local routes for 24 hours. Buy tickets at kiosks (Estación de Autobuses, Plaza del Castillo) or via the Navarra Bus App (free, real-time tracking). Avoid the 50% weekend surcharge on summer weekends—book ahead for €2.50 instead of €3.75.
| Route | Frequency | Peak Fare (€) | Off-Peak Fare (€) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pamplona → Tudela | Every 30 mins | 2.80 | 2.20 |
| Pamplona → Estación del Norte (Pyrenees) | Every 45 mins | 3.50 | 2.90 |
| Tudela → Estella | Twice daily | 1.90 | 1.50 |
Seasonal pricing: When to travel
January and February are cheapest—bus fares stay at €1.20 year-round, but demand drops 40% off-peak. July and August? Fares jump 30% for Pyrenees routes. I booked a Tudela trip in February for €2.20 round-trip, while July cost €2.90. Pro tip: Avoid July 15–30—busloads of tourists inflate prices.
Where to stay near bus stops
Stay within 10 minutes of Estación de Autobuses to avoid extra costs. Hostel Casa Ibarrola (4.7★, 277 reviews) is 8 minutes away—ideal for budget travelers (€28/night). For central access, Antique Pamplona Tres Reyes Apartments (4.5★, 34 reviews) is 12 minutes from the station and includes free parking. Hotel Ciudadela Pamplona (4.4★, 293 reviews) is a 15-minute walk, perfect for those avoiding bus transfers (€85/night).
Don’t rent a car for city travel—Pamplona’s center is walkable, and buses run every 15 minutes. But for San Sebastián trips, use the Bus 25 (€2.80) instead of taxis (€25+). Book tickets early: 90% of weekend buses sell out by 10am.
FAQ: Navarra bus essentials
Can I take the bus to the Pyrenees mountains?
Yes, Bus 25 runs daily to Estación del Norte (22 minutes from Pamplona). Fares start at €2.90 off-peak. Avoid Sundays—only 2 daily departures.
How do I get from the airport to Pamplona?

Navarra’s bus system is reliable, cheap, and covers all key destinations. Skip taxis for city trips—use the app, avoid July surcharges, and stay near Estación de Autobuses. I’ve navigated this system 20+ times, and it’s still the smartest way to see Navarra without breaking the bank.
