Getting Around Benidorm

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 8:00AM - 11:30PM. 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.
