Alicante Airport: getting to the centre by C6 bus
HopTrip · Reviewed
How do you get from Alicante Airport to the centre?
The C6 bus connects the ALC terminal with central Alicante. Change to TRAM in the city, including at Luceros — no train or tram leaves directly from the terminal.
4,70 € per person for a standard C6 single ticket. Buy it on the bus; have the exact cash fare ready.

Late arrivals and buying a ticket
Open the C6 timetable for your date and direction, including after midnight. Check the operator’s ticket and payment rules; do not assume a city pass includes the airport service. Work backwards from your required check-in time, allowing for waiting and travel.
Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) may be the beginning of your stay in Alicante or your trip to another town of Costa Blanca. Split these scenarios: the bus to the center is not always the best first step to the hotel outside the city. Save the full town name and address.

C6 to the city
Aena describes C6 as connecting the terminal to the centre of Alicante, with stops at important points of the city and railway. On Alfonso X El Sabio and Plaza de los Luceros you can change to TRAM. Before entering check the nearest stop and the current schedule of the operator.
Reaching TRAM requires a bus leg
Aena's website about railway and tram indicates C6 as an airport liaison with Luceros station. It's not a direct train from the terminal. When planning a further route along the coast, consider waiting and changing the mode of transport; also check whether the selected connection requires further transfers.
Benidorm and other localities: compare transfer without center
The airport also lists regional buses, including a direct Benidorm connection. For your accommodation, compare this with travelling via Alicante. Check the arrival stop, booking requirements and last service; listing a route does not guarantee a departure after every flight.
Returning from a resort town
The first bus from the hotel area may not match the morning departure. Before you buy a ticket, set the way back and the variant after delay. For your holiday, check the conditions of accommodation and transfer separately: the air offer does not automatically include the entire stay or delivery to reception.
