Alicante Trams

Alicante is currently rolling out a tram network, these do not yet service much of the city center, but are becoming a moe important transport resource.

Getting around

One of the best ways to go sight seeing is by a car. The roads are good, and the town can be better explored with the freedom that a car brings. Many tourists rent a car for their holidays in Alicante. Often you can book the car with the flight booking before arrival.  If you are looking to just sight see in and around Alicante, our advice is to stick with the public transport or to only hire a car on the days you need it.  Parking in the city centre, like most cities in Europe is difficult.  In the old part of the town, it is not possible to drive.  If you do want to hire a car, make sure you check with the Hotel before you arrive for parking.
