Alicante at a Glance
About Alicante
Alicante, a stunning coastal city in Spain's Costa Blanca, is an unmissable destination that will capture your heart. The city's vibrant old town, with its cobblestone streets and picturesque plazas, is a standout attraction that beckons you to explore its rich history and culture. Travellers particularly love the unique opportunity to visit the Santa Bárbara Castle, a medieval fortress perched atop a hill, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.
The best time to visit Alicante is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) when the weather is mild and pleasant, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll along the beach or a hike in the surrounding mountains. For first-timers, we recommend taking the historic Tramvia Blau, a vintage tram that will transport you through the city's picturesque streets, offering a glimpse into its history and charm.
