Destinations from Stockholm Skavsta Airport

Alicante - Spain

Everyone’s favourite

Visit Alicante and you don’t have to choose between sun and sand, vibrant city streets, quaint neighbourhoods, and a rich history. Alicante has it all!

For an idyllic beach to enjoy the sun, swimming, and beach sports there’s the Playa de Postiguet with its soft sand and crystal-clear water. If you are looking for a quieter beach, Playa de San Juan is a short bus ride away.

In Alicante city centre you have shopping and an urban vibe, and every Sunday the popular antiques market at the city hall humming with life.

Feel the city energy of the palm-lined promenade Explanada de España. But then take off into the charming old backstreets of El Barrio de Santa Cruz and wonder at the fifteenth-century San Nicholas Cathedral and fourteenth-century Basilica of Santa María.

For another highlight, why not visit Santa Bárbara Castle on Mount Benacantil, one of Alicante’s many attractions, and then some tapas.
