Thermal Train

A comfortable way to explore Ourense’s Thermal Promenade is to use the Thermal Train, a nice little wheeled train deaprting from the Main Square and running along river Miño’s right bank, taking you to all the bathing facilities in this thermal area.

It is not a proper tourist train, since it does not travel through the monumental area, nor does it offer tourist explanations. However, it enters spaces restricted to other traffic such as the historic centre, the elegant Paseo street and, above all, the Thermal Promenade, a pedestrian lane where you will find the hot springs of A Chavasqueira, Muíño da Veiga, Outariz and Burga de Canedo.

Furthermore, this train is the only vehicle allowed to cross the Roman Bridge, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful views offered by this iconic monument of the city.

The Thermal Train departs from the Main Square, very close to the emblematic hot springs of As Burgas. After a stopping near St. Lazarus’ Park, it crossed the Roman Bridge heading towards the Thermal Promenade,  making stops in all the thermal baths, that is, in A Chavasqueira, Muíño da Veiga, Outariz and Burga de Canedo . You can check the complete itinerary and stops at the following link.

It takes about 40 minutes to travel the 6 kilometres from Main Square to the last stop (the Outariz and Burga de Canedo hot springs). Its price is € 0.85 each trip (the same as the urban buses), which must be paid directly to the driver. Remember that this is not circular itinerary, so to make the return trip it is necessary to get off at the last stop and pay again for the return trip.

NEWS (April 1st, 2024):  At the moment the Thermal Train is not operating due to failure . There is a bus (Bus 19. Termas) departing from Alameda (check stop) that goes to Outariz-Reza parking area (check stop). This bus is operating on High Season Schedule.
