Málaga airport to the centre near midnight – train or taxi?

The Cercanías C1 train runs until just before 01:00, so a 22:45 landing is fine once you have your bags. It is €1.80 a head and about 12 minutes to the centre, and it is what we would take. A taxi from the rank has a fixed airport minimum, so budget €20 to €25 at night; Uber and Bolt are usually a few euros less and drop you at the door. For anywhere near the old town, the train plus a short walk wins unless your cases are heavy. Current prices and the last-train times are in our airport to city centre guide.
