Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships dock at Muelle de Transatlánticos, La Coruña's main cruise terminal on the Atlantic waterfront. María Pita Square and the historic centre lie 10–15 minutes on foot along a flat promenade. Santiago de Compostela is roughly 75 km inland — typically 1–1.25 hours each way by coach. Confirm your all-aboard time and keep a 60–90 minute buffer before departure.
Tips for cruise passengers
- Weather can change quickly
