Coaches from Valencia to Benicassim Festival

Valencia is the closest big city to Benicàssim, so journeys are shorter and usually cheaper. There are:

• Extra festival shuttle routes in many years, running directly from Valencia and nearby towns to the FIB site.

Again, you can search Valencia–Benicàssim buses using CheckMyBus, or look for Valencia–Castellón if there is no direct service on your exact date.

What about Reus, Castellón or other airports?

Some fans fly into Reus, Castellón Airport or other Costa del Azahar airports and then travel by bus. In most cases you will need to:

• Take a short local bus or train from the airport to the nearest big town (for example Reus or Tarragona).
• Then use an intercity coach to Benicàssim or Castellón.

To check these routes, set your airport or nearby city (for example Reus) as the departure point when you search for coaches to Benicàssim.

Festival shuttle buses & local services

On top of normal public buses, the festival usually runs special shuttle buses during Benicassim week. These connect nearby towns directly with the FIB site in the evenings and back again after the headliners finish.

• Recent years have included shuttle routes such as Valencia – FIB, Sagunto – FIB, Onda – FIB, Burriana – FIB and Vila-real – FIB.
• Services tend to run in the early evening towards the festival and back again around dawn.
• You normally buy a ticket for a specific route and assigned bus, which you then use for all three festival days.

Because routes and prices change every year, always check the official FIB shuttle bus page for the current festival before you travel.

Benicassim coach FAQs

Can I buy bus tickets on the day when I land?

Sometimes there are spare seats on the day, but for festival weekend it is much safer to book in advance, especially if you are landing in the afternoon or evening. Use the search link above to check how full buses look for your dates, then reserve a seat if it seems busy.

Are there return coaches after the festival?

Yes – long-distance coaches and shuttle buses normally run back towards the main cities the day after the festival finishes (and sometimes on the final morning too). When you book, look for return tickets or book your outward and return legs at the same time so you know you can get back.

When are Benicassim coach times released each year?

Public coach timetables are usually loaded a few months ahead, while the official FIB shuttles are often announced closer to the festival once dates and line-up are confirmed. Start checking from spring onwards and keep an eye on the FIB shuttle bus page for updates.

Is there a bus from Reus to Benicassim?

There is not usually a direct Reus–Benicàssim festival coach. Most people travel from Reus Airport into either Reus or Tarragona and then take an intercity coach (or train) down the coast towards Castellón / Benicàssim. Use the bus search tools to plan this as a two-step journey when comparing options.
