About Renfe Train Classes
Typically, Renfe trains offer two travel classes: Turista (Second class) and Preferente (First class). However, for those opting to explore Europe's wonders via the AVE high-speed service, there's also Turista Plus (an enhanced Second class), featuring first-class seats without the special weekday catering service.
Below, you can find access to each type's dedicated pages for more information.
FAQ About Renfe Train Classes
The main difference between these travel classes is the seating arrangement. Turista coaches have a 2 by 2 seat configuration, and Preferente offers a much more comfortable set-up: 2 seats on the left and 1 on the right. Another perk of buying a Preferente ticket includes catering service, access to Renfe VIP lounges, and free car parking at the station if you plan to return in 48 hours.
