The most convenient airports in relation to price, distance, and arrival time to downtown
Freenow, a dedicated mobility application, has produced a ranking of European cities whose centre is furthest from the airport. In addition to tracking distances, Freenow has also calculated the average time taken to reach the city centre and the relative cost in taxis: thus, it is possible to see which destinations are the most convenient in the distance-time travel-cost ratio.
