Getting around Benidorm
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, navigating a new city can be intimidating. We hope the following information will help to point you in the right direction.
On foot
If you want to fully experience Benidorm, one of the best ways to do so is by walking around the city. The small size of Benidorm makes it easy to explore on foot, with many pedestrian-friendly streets and paths to follow. For example, a leisurely walk from Old Town to Rincon de Loix along the Levante beach promenade will only take about 30 minutes. If you go in the opposite direction and walk down the Poniente promenade, it will take about 40 minutes to reach La Cala which is at the far end of the beach.
Explore further with a bike, E-bike, moped, or segway
If you want to venture beyond the city center and see more of what Benidorm has to offer, consider renting a bike, E-bike, moped, or segway. These modes of transportation are perfect for exploring the beautiful beaches and countryside that surround Benidorm.Â
Rental options for segways and scooters include €10 per hour or a 90-minute city tour for €29. E-bike rentals are also available for half a day for €20 and a full day for €25. 125cc moped rentals start at €45 for one day and go up to €160 for a week-long rental.
