The city of Alicante is accessible by land, sea and air. Motorways, highways and other minor roads enable visitors to reach Alicante by car or coach from the major Spanish and European cities. The international airport of El Altet is located just 10 minutes from the city centre and is one of the main entry points for visitors to Alicante.
Travelling by train is a comfortable way to get to the Costa Blanca capital, but if you prefer you can also sail in by boat, as there are crossings between Alicante and a number of Mediterranean cities. In fact, from the ports in Alicante and Denia (a town 90 kilometres to the north), a direct route is run to the Balearic Islands.
