Is there a bus service from train station to Plaza Mayor? Taxis appear to be expensive.

Bus service does not run directly to Plaza Mayor and it can be confusing to find the right bus to take to get closeby. Taxis take a roundabout way to get you close by.

Depending on your luggage situation, it may be a managable walk to get there. Continue down Paseo de la Estacion until you come upon Plaza de Espana (ask locals for where this is. To get to the Plaza go down Calle TORO and keep walking til you're inside. All told, train station to Plaza is roughly a 25-30 min. walk, but is the most direct way there.

Hope this helps.

I have a place outside the city, and it only costs me about 6 euros for a cab ride home. Sure beats walking. The bus station to the Plaza mayor may only be a 4 or 5 euro trip - or less. What might raise the rates more is if you have tons of lugggage - although i've heard cab drivers are not supposed to charge the luggage supplement anymore. While it's a fine walk on a nice day, if you have a suitcase (even with wheels) and a carry-on, take a cab.

Oops, meant "train station" but the same goes for the bus station.
If I find the bus info from train station, though, I'll post it.

According to the lastest route maps, bus service could be rather direct. Take Line 1 (Cipreses) and it goes right past the plaza. Here is the route http://www.gruporuiz.com/plantillas/salamanca/verlinea.php?id=1
