Benidorm transport and how to get there
Walking
Benidorm is easily and ideally viewed on foot ! The famous promenade stretches along
the breathtaking beaches, and you are in danger of missing the narrow streets of the old
town, if you’re not walking. But, when your legs are tired from the previous
night of partying or you want to go a little further out from central Benidorm, the buses
are the best way of getting around.
Bus
The bus service here is very good, they are inexpensive and if you don't like to carry
change a BONOBUS 20 costs €16,20 and can be purchased on board (groups can share).
Single trips costs 90 cents anywhere on the main bus route. Most buses operate between
8am-11.30pm. All timetables and maps are available on the Llorente
bus website. Although bus stops have particularly clear timetables with colour coded
maps of all the routes.
Taxi
So you can’t find your way back to your hotel at 6.00am or you want a more direct
service? The local taxis are white with a marine blue stripe and they run 24 hours. There
are numerous taxi ranks dotted around, however you can easily hail one in the street. They
are available if a green light is visible on the roof, or a ‘Libre’ sign is
displayed in the passenger window (the numbers 1 2 3 indicate different tariffs according
to the time of day/night). In general a journey costs about €5-8 within central
Benidorm.
Train
The narrow gauge railway (FGV) runs north from Benidorm to Denia and south to
Campello and is a good way to travel and admire the beautiful coastline. Alicante is
linked by a coastal TRAM from Campello. Trains also stop at the big clubs
on the outskirts of Benidorm and during July and August run 24 hours. The Station is a 15
minute walk or you can take buses 1 or 2 north, from the old town. Trains run from
approximately 6.30am-9.30pm from September-June and are particularly convenient if you are
staying outside Benidorm itself.
Airport Transfers
The fastest and easiest way to get Benidorm is by plane to Alicante, a destination from
many locations in Europe. Transfers to Benidorm can be arranged by several methods
including your own Private Benidorm Transfers, car hire, buses and taxis.. |
